Report Ake offered to Inter in growing Manchester City rapport | OneFootball

Italian reports claim that Manchester City defender Nathan Aké has been offered to Inter, where he would reunite with Manuel Akanji.

The Nerazzurri are trying to revamp their defence for next season, as Francesco Acerbi, Matteo Darmian and Stefan de Vrij are expected to move on, with Alessandro Bastoni and Carlos Augusto also said to be considering their future.

With that in mind, FCInterNews suggest that Aké was proposed to Inter by some transfer intermediaries, who are working with the centre-back’s agents.

Ake new name on Inter radar

His contract with Manchester City only runs to June 2027, so it would make sense for the Premier League club to make a sale this summer and avoid losing him on a free transfer.

The Netherlands international is already 31 years of age, and has been linked with Bayer Leverkusen and Besiktas in recent months, but would bring valuable experience to the Inter defence.

Manchester City paid €45m to sign Aké from Bournemouth in 2020 and his previous clubs include Chelsea, Watford, Reading and the Feyenoord youth academy.

There had been similar concerns over Akanji leaving Manchester City for Inter last summer, but on the verge of his 31st birthday, the Switzerland international has been a strong performer.

He arrived on loan with an option to buy for €15m that will become mandatory if Inter win the Scudetto, which they could do this weekend.
