THE BIGGER PICTURE: PSG have already agreed a deal to sign Milan Skriniar from Inter Milan on a free transfer but Sergio Ramos' contract is running down, and L'Equipe reports that Presnel Kimpembe's future is far from certain. That has led to the French giants searching for reinforcements in the backline, with a focus on a left-footed defender. Bayern Munich's Lucas Hernandez is also said to be a potential target.
AND WHAT'S MORE: It has been reported that City will not stand in Laporte's way if he does want to leave this summer. Manuel Akanji, John Stones, and Ruben Dias are all currently ahead of the Spaniard in the pecking order at the Etihad Stadium.
