Aymeric Laporte is on the verge of completing his £57million Manchester City move with the defender set to have his medical on Monday, according to reports in Spain.

The centre-back was left out of Athletic Bilbao's squad against Eibar in La Liga on Friday night with City closing in on their club-record deal.

And according to El Correo, a newspaper in Bilbao, City will pay the £57m for Laporte on Monday, the same day as his medical.
