Manchester City defender Nathan Aké looks set to depart after six years at the club, according to reports.

The 31-year-old arrived from Bournemouth for around €45m in 2020 and has played 174 times for City. Playing time has been limited this season though, with just five Premier League starts and 489 minutes across 15 appearances.

Nathan Ake is increasingly likely to leave Manchester City due to limited playing time, according to Dutch outlet Voetbal International.

The 55-cap Dutch international has set his sights on a move to Serie A, with AC Milan, Juventus, and Roma all reportedly interested in signing the defender.

While Dutch champions PSV had been keen on bringing Ake back to the Eredivisie, a return to the Netherlands now looks highly unlikely.

During his six years at Manchester City, Ake has won 11 major trophies, including four Premier League titles and the UEFA Champions League.
