Overview
- Fenerbahce announced on Friday, July 3, 2026, that they have signed Netherlands international Nathan Ake from Manchester City though the club did not disclose the contract length or the transfer fee.
- Ake leaves Manchester City after six trophy-filled years in which he made 177 appearances and won multiple domestic and European honours, but he had reduced starts in City’s most recent season.
- Ake featured for the Netherlands at the 2026 World Cup and will join Fenerbahce’s pre-season training camp in Austria once his World Cup leave ends.
- Manchester United confirmed on July 3, 2026, that goalkeeper Andre Onana has rejoined Trabzonspor on a season-long loan after being deemed surplus following the arrival of Senne Lammens; Onana has two years left on his United contract and made 40 appearances for Trabzonspor last season.
- The moves reflect shifting squads at Manchester clubs under new management and a renewed push by Fenerbahce — guided by president Aziz Yildirim and manager Ismail Kartal — to bolster their defence as they target the Super Lig title next season.
