Chelsea are said to be in ‘advanced’ talks with Manchester City over a potential Stamford Bridge return for Nathan Ake.
The defender has played only a bit-part for Pep Guardiola since his 2020 switch from Bournemouth. Ake left Chelsea for the Cherries in 2017 for £20m.
City paid £41m for the Netherlands international and are said to want to recoup that kind of fee for him if they're to sell this summer. They are hopeful that such a fee can be agreed with new Blues owner Todd Boehly keen to demonstrate his investment in his first transfer window.
