Nathan Ake Hints at Summer Exit From Man City After Cup Final Showcase

Reduced minutes since Marc Guehi’s January move have put the defender on a path to a reported summer sale.

Overview

  • Ake, who started Sunday’s Carabao Cup final in place of the injured Marc Guehi, helped Manchester City beat Arsenal and drew public praise from Pep Guardiola.
  • The Netherlands international signaled uncertainty about his future, telling Algemeen Dagblad that winning the Carabao Cup would be “a nice ending.”
  • Football Insider reports City plan to sell Ake in the summer to avoid losing him for free when his contract runs out in 2027.
  • Everton are described as keen after tracking him in January, with West Ham also linked, and his Wembley display is seen as a potential trigger for bids.
  • Coverage attributes his reduced role to Guehi’s swift rise alongside Ruben Dias and notes only four league starts, while Goal adds Barcelona interest reported by Spanish outlets.
