Manchester City and Turkish club Fenerbahce are in advanced negotiations to transfer 31-year-old Netherlands defender Nathan Ake. The clubs have already agreed personal terms with the player, though the final deal structure is still being settled; the move is expected to be finalized shortly at a base fee of £7 million, potentially rising to £8.5 million with add-ons.

Ake, who arrived at City from Bournemouth in 2020 for £40 million, faces a departure after limited involvement under Pep Guardiola last season, with only 17 starts across all competitions. His exit comes with one year remaining on his contract, making a summer sale prudent for the club. During his four years at Etihad Stadium, he accumulated 177 appearances and won four Premier League titles, two domestic cups, and the Champions League.
