Nathan Aké receives an offer from Everton to leave Manchester City this summer

Nathan Aké could be on his way out of Manchester City this summer. The Dutch defender, once an important piece in Pep Guardiola’s system, is no longer in the coach’s plans and may leave the club before the transfer window closes.

Everton moves to secure Aké

According to The Bobble, Everton have already submitted an offer to sign Aké. The Toffees see the 29-year-old as a key reinforcement for their defense in the 2025/26 season and believe he could bring solidity and experience to the back line.

Negotiations are still ongoing, and the terms of the deal have not been revealed. However, there is optimism that the transfer could be concluded in the coming weeks.

Guardiola approves sales at City

At Manchester City, Aké’s departure is viewed as part of a broader strategy. With the arrival of new players and tactical adjustments, Guardiola has approved the possibility of selling defenders who are unlikely to play regularly.

Aké is not expected to be the only exit from the Etihad Stadium, as City are open to further sales before the market shuts.

What Aké could bring to Everton

For Everton, Aké represents a reliable defender with Premier League and Champions League experience, capable of leading the back line and adapting quickly to Sean Dyche’s system.

If the deal is completed, the Dutchman would join a squad focused on avoiding last season’s struggles and aiming for a stronger campaign in 2025/26.
