Manchester City's experienced central defender Nathan Ake is increasingly likely to change clubs during the winter transfer window. According to Spanish media, Atletico Madrid is showing serious interest in the 30-year-old Dutch player and is developing plans to bring him to La Liga.
According to El-Desmarque, the "mattress workers" are considering a loan option for Ake in January with the possibility of a full transfer later. This decision could be made to strengthen the Madrid club's defense and increase stability thanks to the experienced player.
Although Nathan Ake has been playing for Manchester City since 2020, his status in the team has changed recently. Josep Guardiola made a generation change in the team through two transfer windows in 2025, and as a result, Ake began to lose his place in the starting lineup. He is currently in direct competition with our compatriot Abdukodir Khusanov.
This season, the Dutch defender is not a key figure in Guardiola's plans. Consequently, he made only 14 appearances in all competitions. This naturally encourages the experienced player to consider a new call-up and a new league.
Ake's current contract with the Citizens runs until the summer of 2027. Transfermarkt estimates its market value at 18 million euros. If Atletico's plan materializes, Ake could have the opportunity to resume his La Liga career at a high level.
In short, as the winter transfer window approaches, the situation around Nathan Ake is becoming increasingly heated. Fans are watching with great interest the experienced defender's next destination.
