Nathan Ake next club odds: Barcelona move on the cards

• Barcelona are leading the race to sign Nathan Ake from Manchester City in January

• The defender is out of favour at City and has been linked with a move away

• Bournemouth are second favourites, with AC Milan and Man Utd other potential options

Barcelona are the favourites in the Nathan Ake next club odds, with the out-of-favour Manchester City defender attracting plenty of interest in January.

Ake has played a key role in City's success since joining in 2020 but has struggled for minutes under Pep Guardiola this season, starting just three times in the Premier League.

The club's potential move for Marc Guehi would push the centre-back further down the pecking order, meaning a fresh start in January could well be on the cards for the Dutch international.

Ake's days at Man City look numbered but he remains a top-quality defender for a potential, with Barcelona seemingly at the front of the queue right now.

The 30-year-old is just 4/1 to make a move to the LaLiga giants during the winter window, with the nearest challenger Bournemouth much further back at 10/1, suggesting that if a move does happen, it will be to the Camp Nou.

Guardiola has plenty of stars not getting enough game time, such as Omar Marmoush and James Trafford, but with the fixtures set to come thick and fast during the second half of the season, the City boss is likely to want to keep them around the squad.

But there will likely be little he can do if Ake fancies the move himself, with the prospect of regular football during a World Cup year sure to be on the Netherlands international's mind.

As mentioned already, former club Bournemouth are second in line for Ake, according to the odds, with the Cherries given a 10/1 chance of a January move.

Serie A club AC Milan are close behind at 12/1, with the rest of the options much further back in the market at 20/1.

Those names include Man City's arch rivals Manchester United, as well as fellow Premier League clubs Everton and West Ham.
