Man City defender Emiric Laporte (29) shed tears on a happy day. Is the meaning of tears joy or sadness?
Laporte sat down on the grass during the championship party held after the 37th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2022-2023 season with Chelsea at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England on the 22nd (Korean time). Then he lowered his head and wept incessantly. It seemed that it was not easy to control his emotions to the extent that he had to comfort him around him.
The British daily메이저놀이터 ‘Express’ reported that Laporte’s tears hinted at a breakup. Laporte, who moved to Man City from Athletic Bilbao in January 2018, is said to want to leave this summer in search of his ‘dream’. Transfer expert Fabricio Romano said that Laporte’s ‘dream club’ is FC Barcelona. At the same time, he added that he hopes to move his team in order to play regularly.

Laporte only played 11 league games this season, being pushed out of competition with Ruben Dias, John Stones, and Nathan Ake.
If Laporte, a left-footed left center back, leaves, there is a possibility of becoming Son Heung-min’s teammate. ‘Express’ reports that Tottenham are one of Laporte’s next destinations.
Laporte had a successful career at Manchester City. He won the EPL only 5 times, including this season. This season’s European Champions League victory can mark a point in his career. Man City, who confirmed an early win in the league, left the final against Inter Milan.
