The Manchester City defender has admitted that he was in touch with the Spanish Footballer Federation (RFEF) for years before switching allegiances
Aymeric Laporte has claimed Didier Deschamps did not return his texts before he swapped France for Spain at international level.
Laporte represented France from U17s to U21s and was called up to the senior squad for the first time in 2018 before having to withdraw through injury.
The Manchester City defender decided to switch allegiances to Spain earlier this year having successfully applied for dual citizenship, which prompted a critical response from Bleus boss Deschamps.
