Centre-back Nathan Ake scored 11 goals in 121 appearances for BournemouthRelegated Bournemouth have accepted a £40m bid from Manchester City for defender Nathan Ake. Netherlands international Ake, 25, joined Bournemouth in 2017 for a club record fee and has made 121 appearances for the Cherries. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has been targeting at least one centre-back to bolster his squad next season and Ake has been a target for a while. Bournemouth were relegated from the Premier League after finishing 18th, while Manchester City finished runners-up. It was understood Ake would leave Bournemouth this summer whether Eddie Howe's men stayed in the top flight or not.
