Pep Guardiola is relaxed about Manchester City's hopes of signing Aymeric Laporte from Athletic Bilbao in a club record £57million deal.
City have agreed to meet the buyout clause in Laporte's contract and are expected to land the 23-year-old French defender before the transfer window closes next week.
Guardiola was reluctant to be drawn on the issue, saying: 'He's a player for Bilbao. It's the same as other players in the clubs, I didn't speak about previous players. If it happens, it happens, if not then it doesn't.
'There are players in the past who are interesting, in the present there will be and in the future.
