Team Talk has reported on Everton's interest in acquiring Nathan Ake to bolster their defense. The club has shown interest in Ake as a solution to their defensive weaknesses. Initial discussions have occurred, with Everton considering Ake's versatility and his experience in the Premier League as advantageous. However, due to Premier League regulations, Everton is unable to pursue a loan deal as they have already secured Jack Grealish on loan from Manchester City in the current window. Manchester City is willing to negotiate a permanent transfer, valuing Ake at approximately £30-35 million. Interest in Ake arose during talks for Jack Grealish, who has recently joined Everton on a loan deal for the season. Everton is facing competition from Newcastle and West Ham, who are also interested in Ake. Although Ake is seeking more regular first-team play, he prefers a club participating in European competitions, which presents a potential challenge for Everton. With Everton not participating in continental football this season, they may need to persuade Ake with their ambitious plans at the new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium. While no official offer has been made yet, the competition intensifies as the transfer window approaches its deadline, leaving Everton supporters eagerly anticipating further developments.
