Newcastle United have been given a large boost in their pursuit of Manchester City and Netherlands defender Nathan Ake. The 27-year-old has made just 24 top-flight appearances across his two terms under Pep Guardiola and is said to have been given the green light to leave the club this summer.
Moving from Bournemouth to the Blues back in 2020, cost the current Premier League champions £41million, the defender still has three years left on his current deal. It is hard to imagine the former Chelsea man wont come cheap if the Magpies are to continue in their pursuit however.
With two Premier League titles and a League Cup success under his name too during his time in the north west, it remains to be seen whether Ake would prefer a move elsewhere, having played back up to Ruben Dias and Aymeric Laporte for most of the campaign.
