Man City resisting Chelsea attempts for Nathan Ake

Nathan Ake is set to stay with Manchester City.

The Holland defender has been linked with a return to Chelsea this summer.

But the Athletic reports Ake will not make the switch Stamford Bridge as the terms of the deal were not right for City.

The report claims that the 27-year-old is a popular member of Pep Guardiola's squad and is happy to be staying at the Etihad Stadium.

It is said that the Premier League champions would only have sold Ake had their £50m valuation been met, as he provides strength in depth in multiple positions.
