Aymeric Jean Louis Gérard Alphonse Laporte (French pronunciation: ; born 27 May 1994) is a French professional footballer who plays as a centre back for Premier League club Manchester City.
After joining Athletic Bilbao in 2010 at the age of 16, he became only the second French player – after Bixente Lizarazu – to play for them, going on to make 220 competitive appearances for the club and score ten goals. In January 2018, he signed for Manchester City.
Laporte won 51 caps for France at youth level.
Laporte was born in Agen, Aquitaine and is of Basque descent through his great-grandparents. He started playing football and rugby at the age of five, and began his development at SU Agen Football. In 2009 he was invited to join Athletic Bilbao after being scouted, prompting debate over whether his signing met the criteria of their policy due to his tenuous links to the Basque region; by arrangement with the club, he spent a season with Aviron Bayonnais FC as he was too young to move outside France at the time.
