Officially Joining Manchester City, Nathan Ake says it’s a Dream Come True

DBasia.news – Manchester City officially signed the young defender, Nathan Ake, for a dowry of £ 41 million. For Ake, joining The Citizen was a dream come true.

The 25-year-old player had just signed a five-year contract, and is Pep Guardiola’s latest signing after Valencia winger, Ferran Torres.

Reported by Metro, Thursday (6/8) Nathan Ake admitted that he was thrilled with his move to the Etihad Stadium. Moreover, the Dutch player has always dreamed of wearing the Citizen’s jersey.

“City have been the best team in England over the last decade. Coming here is a dream for me. This is a top team full of world class players,” said Nathan Ake.

The move was a record sale for Bournemouth, which received an additional 1 million pounds from Nathan Ake’s sales, with an initial value of 40 million pounds.

Furthermore, Ake praised City’s entrenador Josep Guardiola. He has felt at home and couldn’t wait to be under the guidance of the former Barcelona coach.

“Guardiola is a manager who is admired throughout the world. The success he has had is unbelievable and the style of football he plays is very attractive to me. So I have to work hard to help the team win trophies,” he added.

Ake started his football career with the London club, Chelsea. He was mostly loaned out by the Blues to clubs such as Reading, Watford and Bournemouth before joining the club, now relegated to the Championship on a permanent basis for £ 20 million in 2017.

On the other hand, Chelsea are reported to have a buy-back option against Nathan Ake. However, Roman Abramovich’s club is reluctant to use it.

Although Bournemouth are certain to be relegated to the Championship Division next season. Ake’s performance has skyrocketed since leaving Stamford Bridge Stadium.
