Man City make plans for Bournemouth defender Ake as Maguire alternative



Manchester City are moving ahead in the race to sign Nathan Ake.
The Citizens are on the lookout for a center half this summer, targeting Ake and Leicester's Harry Maguire.
Per L'Equipe, Pep Guardiola is a keen admirer of Ake, as he appreciates the player's ability to pass the ball out from defense.
While Tottenham are also interested in Ake, the source claims that City are now close to sealing a deal for the 24-year-old.
Any transfer for Ake would set City back roughly £40 million, but it would be around half the price Leicester are demanding for English center back Maguire.
Ake has been a star for Bournemouth since he signed from Chelsea in 2017.
