Nathan Ake Weighs Future at Man City as Reports Indicate Club Open to Offers

The defender says he needs regular minutes to satisfy Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman before the summer World Cup.

Overview

  • After starting just two Premier League matches this season, Ake said he will "keep fighting" for opportunities at Manchester City.
  • He revealed Koeman has warned selection is difficult without regular club minutes, putting his World Cup place at risk.
  • Match-time has been scarce in recent weeks, with only 21 league minutes across the last 11 games and frequent unused-sub roles.
  • Everton and West Ham are among the clubs linked in January, with reports also noting wider Premier League and European interest.
  • Football Insider reports City would consider suitable offers even though Guardiola values Ake’s experience, and the defender is contracted until 2027.
