Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is set to offer centre-back Nathan Ake a new contract this summer, according to reports.
But, Ake looks set to pen his extend his stay at the Etihad, in a deal which will keep him in Manchester for years to come, if the reports are to be believed. Ake, who has made 34 appearances for the Netherlands, made over 100 starts for the Cherries as they battled to remain in the Premier League under Eddie Howe. Ake has enjoyed his best season to date since signing from Bournemouth in 2020, so City are keen to reward the defender.
Manchester City are set to hand Nathan Ake a new bumper contract six months after the Premier League champions almost sold the defender.
And for many, the defender more than earns this new contract based on what the centre-back can continue to offer in the coming months and years. And a new contract is more than deserved for the centre-back. [According to the Daily Star](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/exclusive-ake-new-city-contract-29252278), Pep Guardiola’s side are ready to hand the versatile defender a new contract worth £120,000-a-week after establishing himself as a vital part of City’s senior squad this season, with Ake making 25 appearances in all competitions.
