Manchester City have reportedly told defender Nathan Ake that he is free to leave the Etihad Stadium in the summer transfer window.
Reports from talkSPORT suggest that City have allowed the Dutch centre-back to leave Manchester this summer and that Newcastle United would be keen on signing the defender as they look to climb towards the European places next season.
A move for Ake would see him reunited with Eddie Howe, who bought Ake to Bournemouth, initially on loan, in 2016. Ake spent four years with the Cherries and played 121 times in all competitions for them before he joined City for £41million two years ago, with much of Ake’s best form on the south coast coming under Howe.
