"AC Milan are hoping that Nathan Ake is allowed to leave Manchester City, and a key meeting is scheduled in. It has been widely reported that Milan are looking for a late addition to the defensive line, but with the strict condition that there cannot be a large up front financial outlay."
"Romano states that Ake 'would like to play more' but that Ronald Koeman - the Netherlands coach - would also like to see him get more minutes in the build-up to the 2026 World Cup in North America."
"As of today, Manchester City have not shown any signs of letting him leave, despite interest from Milan. There will be a meeting between the club and Guardiola to understand how to proceed in these final days, but at the moment they don't want to sell Aké," Romano adds."
AC Milan hope to acquire Nathan Aké from Manchester City as a late defensive reinforcement while avoiding significant up-front expenditure. Milan require a low-cost solution or a loan with an option to buy. Nathan Aké is struggling for regular starts at Manchester City and would prefer more game time, while Ronald Koeman wants Aké to increase minutes ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Pep Guardiola and Manchester City are currently reluctant to sell Aké because of injuries in the defensive group. A meeting between Manchester City and Guardiola will be held to determine how to proceed in the final days of the window.
