Aymeric Laporte

Aymeric Laporte, born on May twenty-seventh, nineteen ninety-four, is a distinguished professional footballer who currently plays as a centre-back for La Liga club Athletic Bilbao. His journey in football began when he joined Athletic Bilbao in two thousand ten at the tender age of sixteen, making him only the second player born in France to don the club's colors, following in the footsteps of Bixente Lizarazu.

During his time at Athletic Bilbao, Laporte made an impressive two hundred twenty-two competitive appearances, showcasing his defensive prowess and earning recognition in the football community. In January two thousand eighteen, he made a significant move to Manchester City, where he became part of a historic team that achieved the only domestic treble in English men's football in two thousand nineteen, followed by the country's second-ever continental treble in two thousand twenty-three.

In two thousand twenty-three, Laporte transitioned to Saudi club Al-Nassr, where he spent two seasons before returning to Athletic Bilbao in September two thousand twenty-five. His international career began with France, where he earned fifty-one caps at youth levels and was called up to the senior team twice, though he remained uncapped. However, after acquiring Spanish citizenship in two thousand twenty-one, he was named in Spain's squad for UEFA Euro two thousand twenty and went on to represent the nation at the two thousand twenty-two FIFA World Cup and Euro two thousand twenty-four, winning the latter tournament.
