Manchester City plans to close the Nathan Ake deal

A £40million fee has been agreed upon by City, raising it further to £41million with the relegated Cherries for the 25-year-old Holland international the previous week. The deal which is very close to completion would be announced in the future days. According to reports, Ake had arrived at Manchester, post a holiday. He has also undergone a medical and agrees to all the personal terms. Ake, if signed, would become the City's second signing of the delayed summer transfer window. Since the former captain has departed from Vincent Company the previous year, Ake would be strengthening the manager Pep Guardiola's options. Before joining the Cherries on a permanent basis for £20m in 2017., Ake had been a youth player at Chelsea and had loan spells at Watford and Bournemouth as well as Reading. Despite having a buy-back option, Chelsea did not exercise it.
