Nathan Aké is poised to leave Manchester City after six years to join Turkish club Fenerbahce in a transfer valued at a minimum of £7 million. The 31-year-old Dutch defender’s departure marks the end of a period at the Etihad Stadium during which he contributed to an array of titles, including four Premier League championships, one UEFA Champions League trophy, two FA Cups, and two Carabao Cups.

Fenerbahce confirmed the agreement for Aké’s transfer, signaling the club’s intent to bolster their defensive options with the experienced international. Aké’s move comes as Manchester City continues to adjust its squad following recent successes under manager Pep Guardiola.

During his tenure at Manchester City, Aké played a significant role as a versatile defender, although competition for places occasionally limited his appearances. His consistent performances and experience in domestic and European competitions are expected to add value to his new team in the Turkish Süper Lig.

Negotiations between the two clubs culminated in the deal’s finalization, though additional financial details beyond the minimum reported fee have not been disclosed. This transfer reflects Fenerbahce’s ongoing strategy to strengthen their squad by acquiring players with strong Premier League and international experience.

Manchester City did not immediately comment on the agreement. Aké’s departure is likely to impact the club’s defensive lineup as they plan for upcoming domestic and continental challenges. Meanwhile, Fenerbahce supporters anticipate the arrival of a seasoned player who has competed at the highest levels of European football.
