Barcelona are plotting a move to sign Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte, as the Cititzens prepare to lose players this summer due to the club's European ban. City are currently facing a two-year suspension from the Champions League, and could see players depart as a result. City are hopeful that their Champions League ban will be reversed, but might have to wait until August before they are able to have their appeal heard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport. However, that might not be possible due to the qualifying stages for the competition taking place beforehand. JUST IN: Neymar 'says yes' to Barcelona transfer after snubbing PSG contract extension
