Manchester City open talks over a deal for Bournemouth star

Manchester City are in talks with Bournemouth over a deal to sign Nathan Ake, according to The Athletic. Pep Guardiola is desperate to strengthen his options at the back having lost Vincent Kompany last year. Guardiola has concerns over John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi, while a serious injury to Aymeric Laporte coincided with a poor spell of form. The boss is determined to revamp his central defence. Ake emerging as a realistic target after being watched by City scouts for more than six months. Guardiola monitored the Dutchman ahead of the January transfer window but is now ready to make a move, with early talks having already been held. It is unclear whether the buy-back clause Chelsea inserted in the £20million deal which took him to the Vitality Stadium in 2017 is still active. The Blues are likely to be the only competition City would face for his signature. Source: Daily Mail
