Premier League
Manchester City has made the decision to facilitate the exit of one of its most versatile assets in recent years to renew its rearguard. Nathan Ake, the 30-year-old Dutch international, leads the way out of a project that seeks to rejuvenate its defensive profiles for the future.
Institutions of the caliber of Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, and Bayer Leverkusen are closely monitoring the contractual situation of the left-sided defender. The British board understands that this is the ideal moment to finalize an economically viable operation before his contract expires.
Hansi Flick has identified in the Dutch defender an ideal profile to provide balance and strength to the left flank of his Barca's defensive structure.
Manchester City will facilitate negotiations for a figure ranging between €25 and €30 million, a highly attractive amount for the Blaugranas. The player's versatility is his greatest asset, being able to perform solidly both in the central defense and as a left-back.
Ake has been a key piece in Pep Guardiola's rotation scheme, winning all possible trophies during his time at the Etihad Stadium. However, the player's desire to secure a starting position abroad seems to have hastened this imminent sporting divorce.
