Juventus are pursuing Manchester City's 30-year-old Dutch defender, Nathan Aké, and are reportedly preparing to compete with Crystal Palace to sign him in the winter transfer window. Aké, who has made five appearances in the Premier League this season, is considering his future at City due to a lack of consistent playing time. Juve Live reports that the Serie A club has identified the versatile defender as a key target to strengthen their defense. The player is reportedly willing to consider a move in January to secure regular playing time before the 2026 World Cup. Crystal Palace's interest is due to the potential departure of Marc Guehi, for whom they are seeking a replacement. Aké is a Netherlands international with 56 caps who joined City in August 2020 and has a contract until June 2027. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €22.00m.
