Fenerbahce's presidential candidate targets Manchester City's Nathan Ake
Summary

Aziz Yıldırım, a candidate for the Fenerbahce presidency, has identified Manchester City defender Nathan Ake as a key transfer target. Yıldırım, who previously served as president for two decades, plans to meet City’s demands for Ake if elected. Ake’s contract with City expires next summer, and he has been linked to various clubs, including Barcelona and Serie A teams. Yıldırım recently engaged in talks with Manchester City officials regarding Ake's transfer, with reports indicating a potential fee of €11 million. Ake, who played a limited role last season under former manager Pep Guardiola, has interest from multiple clubs but could be key to Yıldırım's strategy for Fenerbahce's re-establishment in the league.
