Manchester City are open to swapping Aymeric Laporte for Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong, according to reports in Spain.
Laporte, 27, has become a key member of Pep Guardiola's backline again this season after falling out of favour in the previous campaign.
As a result, Barca are understood to have identified the Spain defender as one of their top transfer targets in January, plotting a second raid on City just a week after signing Ferran Torres from the Etihad.
Despite his solid form this term, El Nacional are reporting that the Premier League club would be prepared to discuss Laporte moving to Catalonia in a potential swap deal with De Jong.
