Fenerbahce complete signing of defender Nathan Ake from Manchester City

Fenerbahce have signed Netherlands defender Nathan Ake from Manchester City in a deal that could be worth up to £8.5m.

The Turkish club have paid around £7m up front with the fee rising if add-ons are met.

Ake, 31, made three appearances for the Netherlands in the 2026 World Cup before their elimination by Morocco in the last 32.

He won four Premier League titles, two FA Cups, two League Cups and the Champions League during a six-year stint at Etihad Stadium.

"It's been a privilege to represent Manchester City over the past six years and I'm so grateful to have been part of a special team," said Ake.

"I've grown so much here – as a player and a person and I'm thankful for the time I've had at the club.

"I'll always cherish the memories, particularly of winning the Treble, being part of all four Premier League titles in a side that made history and triumphing in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup in my final season at the club.

"While I'm moving on, I'm very proud of everything we've achieved together and City will always be special to me."

Ake, who joined City from Bournemouth in 2020 for £40m, has made 177 appearances for the club.

His departure from City this summer is not entirely unexpected given he had one year remaining on his contract and had limited game time in Pep Guardiola's final season in charge.

He made just 17 starts across all competitions last season with six of them coming in the Premier League.
