According to reports, Aké was respected by both his teammates and the coaching staff because of his professionalism and ability to play in different positions across the defence.

Now, he is ready for a new challenge in Turkey.

For Fenerbahçe, this is a huge signing. According to Romano, the club has moved quickly to secure an experienced defender who has won some of the biggest trophies in club football.

Many fans are asking one question: Why would a player leave Manchester City for the Turkish league?

The answer could be simple. Aké may be looking for a fresh start, more regular playing time and a key role in his team's future. At Fenerbahçe, he is expected to become one of the leaders of the squad.

Nathan Aké leaves England with an impressive trophy collection and a reputation as one of the Premier League's most dependable defenders.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the deal is done. Nathan Aké's Manchester City journey is over, and a new adventure in Turkey is about to begin.
