Laporte becomes City’s sixth signing of the 2017/18 season and his transfer fee eclipses the previous record £55m City paid for Kevin de Bruyne. It also means that Pep Guardiola has now effectively spent more than £200m on defenders (Mendy, Stones, Laporte and Walker), and more than £250m if one includes Danilo and Otamendi.
