Bayer Leverkusen Linked With Summer Move for Man City’s Nathan Aké
Fresh reporting points to a possible close-season exit as the defender seeks steadier minutes ahead of the World Cup.
Overview
- Yahoo Sports, citing Sportsboom, reports Bayer Leverkusen as a potential destination for Aké, with Atlético Madrid also monitoring his situation.
- Manchester City declined a January departure because defensive injuries limited Pep Guardiola’s options.
- Aké’s minutes have dipped this season due to competition from Rúben Dias and Joško Gvardiol in Guardiola’s rotation.
- Former Netherlands international Eljero Elia publicly urged Aké to leave Manchester City to secure more game time.
- City are reportedly open to suitable proposals in the summer, with a valuation around £21 million as his contract edges toward its later stages.
