Fenerbahçe announced an agreement to sign defender Nathan Aké from Manchester City. The Turkish club stated Aké has signed a contract, though City has not yet confirmed the £8.5 million departure. Aké, 31, had one year left on his City contract. He played a reduced role for Pep Guardiola's side in the 2025-26 season, starting only six Premier League matches, despite being a versatile option.

Aké made 177 appearances over six years at City, winning the treble in 2023, including the Champions League final. He also secured four Premier League titles, two FA Cups, and three League Cups with City. His career includes stints at Feyenoord, Chelsea, and Bournemouth. This transfer is part of a summer of change at the Etihad, with Enzo Maresca replacing Guardiola and other players like Bernardo Silva and John Stones also departing.
