Chelsea are planning to sign Nathan Ake in the coming days, and have reached an agreement on personal terms with the player. Manchester City are aware of the situation, and want around £40-45 million for the defender if he is to leave. 

Ake is a Cobham academy graduate and has featured for the Blues in the past. Although, at the time, he failed to earn a consistent place in the first team. As a result, he spent several seasons on loan, initially at Watford before moving to Bournemouth on a permanent basis.

The player made a name for himself with the Cherries under Eddie Howe, and eventually went on to sign for Manchester City in 2020. Now, he is on the verge of a move back to Stamford Bridge at the age of 27, five years after leaving Chelsea permanently. 

Nathan Ake would become the second Manchester City player to make the move to the club this summer. Chelsea have seemingly finalised a transfer for Raheem Sterling, and are now looking to reinforce their backline following several key departures in defense. 

Ake has the ability to play as a centre-back, as well as a left-back. And there is speculation that he would be a rotational option for Thomas Tuchel, with the likes of Trevoh Chalobah and Levi Colwill preferred to make a start. There is also some speculation that Tuchel will be shifting to a back four, and a left-footed defender like Nathan Ake could be exactly what the manager needs to make the switch.
