Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte is ready to snub Barcelona in his plans to return to Spain this summer.

Laporte is prepared to leave City after the Euros and has been linked with Barca.

But El Confidencial says the former Athletic Bilbao defender now favours a move to Madrid.

A confidant close to Laporte said: "He wants to come to Madrid and it doesn't matter if it's Real or Atlético.

"His new status as a Spain international prompted him to make the decision to sign for one of the teams in the capital."
