‘Great news if true’ – Many Man City fans buzzing as Chelsea’s pursuit of defender now over despite agreeing personal terms

Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter which relays a report that claims Nathan Ake is set to remain at the Etihad this summer despite Chelsea showing a strong interest in the defender.

Ake has been heavily linked with a move away from Manchester City this summer, with Fabrizio Romano stating that the Dutch international had agreed terms with Chelsea ahead of a potential move.

With Chelsea losing multiple defenders this summer already, it’s no surprise to see them pursuing Ake, especially with his ability to play on the left-hand side of a back three.

However, according to The Athletic, a deal to take Ake to Chelsea is now off, due to the two clubs failing to come to an agreement on the transfer fee.

The report states that Nathan Ake is pleased to be remaining at Man City, while Pep Guardiola’s side are happy for him to remain at the club.

The report was shared on Twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attention from the club’s supporters.

“At least we didn’t fold to low offers. If they don’t value him as highly as we do, there’s nothing wrong in that. It’s cool. Just glad he’s staying..”

“Great news! Now make Zinchenko stay at all costs and sign Cucurella, which would bring to an end of one of our best transfer windows in a long time.”

“Great. We can’t find a replacement and ake is really good defender. He can also play at left back when needed. Home grown is a plus. No need to sell him. Better focus on getting a winger and a left back now..”

“Good and hopefully Zinny will stay as well. This team would feel like incomplete without Zinny..”
