Bournemouth agrees transfer bid from Man City for Nathan Ake

I t appears that Pep Guardiola has began his preparations ahead of the forthcoming 2020-21 season. The former Barcelona boss needs to work on his defense as the Citizens have fell short with inconsistency at the back.

Manchester City were unable to defend their Premier League title,which saw Liverpool win the title with a 25 points gap with games to spare.

Pep Guardiola side were also dumped out of the FA Cup semi final after two goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang saw Arsenal record a 2-0 win at Wembley Stadium.

Recall that in the 2018-19 season, Manchester City won all the domestic treble, but this campaign were only able to win the League cup.

Likes of Nicolas Otamendi and John Stones have not been able to keep it tidy at the back, as midfielder Fernandinho was forced to play in defense after Laporte picked up injury at the beginning of the season.

It's been reported by Sky Sports that Manchester City £41m bid for defender Nathan Ake has been accepted by Bournemouth.

Bournemouth might have agreed to sell the Dutch international after the Cherries were relegated from the Premier League.
