Nathan Aké has struggled for regular minutes at Manchester City, and a switch to Palace could be the perfect opportunity to revive his form and re-establish himself as a top competitor.
Aké joined Manchester City from Bournemouth in 2020 for €45 million. He has made 153 appearances for the Citizens, netting 10 goals and providing 3 assists.
Aké’s current contract with Manchester City runs until 2027, and his market value is estimated at €22 million by Transfermarkt.
