Aymeric Laporte parents-French-Spanish Aymeric Laporte was born on May 27th, 1994 in Agen, Aquitaine in France.
Laporte stands at a height of 1.9 m tall and weighs 86kg. He began his career at the football academy in Agen when he was five years old and began playing rugby and football.
He was discovered in 2009 and received an invitation to join Athletic Bilbao; however, as he was still too young to leave France at the time, he agreed to spend a season with Bayonne.
Laporte officially moved to Bilbao in 2010, joining Athletic’s development program at Lezama. Because of his shaky ties to the Basque country, there was some local discussion on whether their policy was met by his signing.
Later, he joined the club’s youth and reserve teams to play. In the UEFA Europa League that year, on November 28, 2012, Marcelo Bielsa gave him his first opportunity to play with the first team. He played the entire 90 minutes in a 2-0 away victory against Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona.
On December 9, 2012, Laporte made his La Liga debut, playing one minute in a 1-0 victory over Celta Vigo at home. The following week, he was brought into the starting lineup and helped the Lions defeat Mallorca by the same score.
Shortly after, he was unquestionably promoted to the first team and signed a new contract through 2015. On January 14, 2013, he received the number 4 jersey that had previously belonged to Ustaritz, and by the end of the month, he had extended his deal until 2016 with a €27.5 million release clause.
Under the new manager Ernesto Valverde, Laporte began to start frequently and occasionally played left-back. On October 28, 2013, he scored his first goal as a professional, and he only scored against Getafe.
He was selected by the Liga de Ftbol Profesional reporters as a member of the La Liga Team of the Year at the conclusion of the 2013–14 league season. Laporte extended his contract’s expiration date to 2019 in June 2015, with a €50 million release clause.
He participated in both legs of Bilbao’s Supercopa de Espaa victory in 2015, the club’s first trophy in 31 years, against the same opponents after losing the Copa del Rey Final to Barcelona. Laporte extended his deal until 2020 on June 13th, with an initial €65 million buyout clause.
Laporte made his Manchester City and Premier League debut against West Bromwich Albion just one day after signing. City maintained their lead in the title race after beating 3-0.
He continued to play for City throughout the season, making 13 appearances and contributing to their record-breaking 100 points in a Premier League campaign. He played in nine different league games, making him qualified for a winner’s medal.
On August 25, 2018, Laporte scored his first goal for City, tying the game at 1-1 away to Wolverhampton Wanderers. During the 2018–19 season, he made 51 appearances as the team won the first domestic treble in English football history (Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, plus the Community Shield).
On the final day of the Premier League season, as City romped to victory over Brighton and Hove Albion, sealing back-to-back league titles and the second of Laporte’s career, he scored a vital goal as he finished the season with five goals. He played for 4,352 minutes in all.
On August 31, 2019, Laporte suffered a right knee injury that necessitated a stretcher to remove him from the scene. Surgery was performed on him in September 2019.
Up until a bad performance in a 2-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur on November 21, 2020, Laporte had been a certain starter for Manchester City following his injury comeback throughout the 2019–20 season and through the opening of the 2020–21 season.
Laporte captained each team while playing for France at the under-17, under-18, under-19, and under-21 levels. He was chosen for the tournament’s all-star team after playing for the team that finished second to Serbia at the 2013 UEFA European Under-19 Championship in Lithuania.
When Laporte suffered a fracture and dislocation to his right fibula and ankle on March 24, 2016, during a 2017 European Under-21 Championship qualification against Scotland in Anger, his season was already over.
Laporte started the process of being qualified for Spain in August 2016 at the request of the new national manager Julen Lopetegui.
Laporte obtained Spanish citizenship in May 2021 after the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) petitioned the Spanish Council of Ministers on his behalf. Later that week, FIFA confirmed the change of citizenship, allowing Laporte to represent Spain at the next UEFA Euro 2020 competition.
Laporte was added to Spain’s 24-man Euro 2020 squad on May 24, 2021. He began playing for Spain on June 4 in a friendly goalless draw with Portugal. On June 23, during the national team’s 5-0 thrashing of Slovakia in the group stage, he scored his first goal for the team.
