Manchester City defender Nathan Ake has emerged as a surprise target for three Premier League clubs, with Newcastle United, West Ham United and Everton considering the Dutch centre-back moves.
Ake is a reliable squad player for Pep Guardiola, but often fights after minutes like Ruben Dias and John Stones.
His versatility, which can be operated as both a centre-back and a left-back, was important to the city, but players are believed to be embracing a transfer that guarantees him a more consistent starting opportunity. Catch off side.
Man City is ready to offload Nathan Ake
Man City is ready to sanction sales, bringing Ake’s ratings from £30 million to £35 million. His contract with Etihad ran until June 2027, and the city didn’t put any immediate pressure on selling, but his willingness to consider the offer sparked a strong interest.
Everton is one of the clubs eager to strengthen their defensive options.
But Premier League regulations complicate the situation. Everton has already signed Jack Grelish on loan from City this summer. In other words, AKE cannot be secured under the same conditions.
If a permanent transfer is required and European football doesn’t seduce players, persuading him to join may prove challenging.
Newcastle United are the best to sign Ake
Meanwhile, Newcastle United and West Ham United are also keen to sign Dutch defenders, but the Magpie is positioned to fit the Man City defender’s ambitions.
Newcastle is able to offer the promise of a prominent role in the Continental Tournament and team this season.
Whether it’s Newcastle, West Ham or Everton, the Dutch were able to decide where to call before the windows closed.
Pep Guardiola has previously described Ake as a “exceptional” defender.
