Aymeric Laporte wants to stay at Manchester City for a 'long time', and has ruled out a transfer to France in the short term.
Laporte, 28, still has three years left on his contract at City, but only last year was openly discussing the possibility of leaving when he found himself out of favour and out of the team.
However, he rediscovered his form and reclaimed his spot last season to play a pivotal role in City's Premier League title win, taking his trophy collection since moving to the Etihad to 11, including Community Shields. Now, in an interview with French outlet RMC to mark the naming of a stadium after him in his hometown, Laporte has effectively committed his future to City until at least the end of his current deal, signed in 2019.
