The Dutchman Nathan Aké, a defender for Manchester City, is experiencing a complicated situation currently, as he needs to play regularly to regain his full status as a key player, amid increasing European interest in his services in recent days, according to the "Fichajes" website.

The report clarified that the Italian club AC Milan has shown serious interest in acquiring Ake to strengthen its defensive line, taking advantage of the player's desire for more playing time. However, Manchester City has so far refused any notion of letting go of the Dutch defender due to the repeated injuries that have affected the team's backline.

According to the same source, coach Pep Guardiola considers Ake an important element in his defensive system due to his versatility, despite his role diminishing recently with the return of some key defenders. This refusal complicates AC Milan's task, as they are monitoring the situation without engaging in costly official negotiations.

The same source indicated that Ake is aware that continuing without regular participation could affect his international future, especially with the Dutch national team's coaching staff emphasizing the necessity for players to play consistently with their clubs. This might lead him to consider changing his destination if the situation remains unchanged.

With Manchester City holding on to his services, Nathan Ake's future remains open to all possibilities, awaiting the developments of the transfer market and the injury situation within the English team's defense.
