"The race to sign Nathan Ake is heating up, with Inter Milan, Juventus, and Crystal Palace all preparing to battle for the Manchester City defender in the January transfer window, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside. City are understood to be open to offers in the 30-35 million range, which has sparked interest from clubs across Europe seeking defensive reinforcements."
"Ake is open to a move that would guarantee him more consistent playing time, particularly with the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaching. With fierce competition for defensive spots in Ronald Koeman's Netherlands squad, regular minutes will be vital for maintaining his international role. Man City are not actively pushing Ake out but are willing to entertain reasonable bids. Beyond the main contenders, several Premier League and European clubs are monitoring Ake's situation."
Inter Milan, Juventus and Crystal Palace are preparing bids for Nathan Ake, with Manchester City willing to consider offers in the 30–35 million range. The Dutch defender has made only five league appearances this season but offers tactical versatility across centre-back, left-back and three-man defensive systems. Crystal Palace view Ake as a potential replacement if Marc Guehi departs. Ake prefers a move that guarantees consistent minutes ahead of the 2026 World Cup to preserve his Netherlands place. Several other Premier League and European clubs, including teams in Spain and Germany, are also monitoring his situation.
