Man City's Nathan Ake in talks over £7m Fenerbahce move
Nathan Ake, who has struggled for game time at Manchester City this season, is in talks to join Turkish Süper Lig club Fenerbahce for a reported fee of £7 million. The Dutch centre-back, who joined City from Bournemouth in 2020, has fallen out of favour under Pep Guardiola and could seek a new challenge abroad. Fenerbahce are looking to strengthen their defensive options ahead of the new season. The move would represent a significant drop from the £41 million City paid for Ake five years ago.
