Profil du Joueur
Aymeric Jean Louis Gérard Alphonse Laporte (French pronunciation: [ɛ.mə.ʁik la.pɔʁt]; born 27 May 1994) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for La Liga club Athletic Bilbao. Born in France, he plays for the Spain national team. When he joined Athletic Bilbao in 2010 at the age of 16, he became only the second player born in France—after Bixente Lizarazu—to play for them, going on to make 222 competitive appearances for the club. In January 2018, he signed for Manchester City. He was part of the side which won the only domestic treble in English men's football in 2019, and the country's second-ever continental treble in 2023. He moved to Saudi club Al-Nassr in 2023 and spent two seasons there before returning to Athletic Bilbao in September 2025. Laporte won 51 caps for France at youth international levels, and was called up to the senior team twice but remained uncapped. In 2021, after receiving Spanish citizenship, Laporte was named in Spain's squad for UEFA Euro 2020. He would then go on to represent the nation at the 2022 FIFA World Cup and Euro 2024, winning the latter tournament.
