JAKARTA - Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte does not want to leave his club in the transfer market this summer. He has even turned down an offer from Chelsea.

The Blues have reportedly made an approach to the centre-back. However, apart from getting rejected by the players, their offer was also ignored by City.

"Four league trophies, but all eleven trophies. It's not just the Premier League. It's very good for the club and for me. That (moving to Chelsea) never happened," Laporte told RMC Sport.

Laporte was linked with an exit from the Etihad Stadium last summer. However, he has now refused to leave after having an outstanding season with The Citizen.

The 28-year-old player had suffered an injury at the end of last season. However, he is now fit again and ready to help Manchester City to the Champions League title they failed to win last season

"Yes [I survived this season], I am very happy and fit. The team too. There is still a common goal, the Champions League, but we will do everything to get it this year," he said.

"I still have three years on my contract. I'm happy and the club too. I played a lot of minutes: I was the centre-back who played the most," he added.

Chelsea are currently reported to have reached an agreement with Manchester City for the arrival of Raheem Sterling for a transfer fee of IDR 900 billion.

In addition, the London club also has an interest in signing Nathan Ake from the Etihad. Ake wants to be brought in to strengthen the defense after the departure of Antonio Rudiger.
