Milan have reportedly added Nathan Ake to their shortlist of transfer targets. The Manchester City defender is rumoured to be attracting attention ahead of the next transfer window, with insiders claiming preliminary talks could soon take place. Milan are still pushing to finalise terms. However, Barcelona, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace are still watching closely and may return with offers of their own. Milan's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 0.76 goals per game (13 in 17). Nathan Ake would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Manchester City continue to be linked with Max Alleyne, Adam Wharton and Jeremy Monga while Milan are also rumoured to be tracking Jean-Philippe Mateta, Niclas Fullkrug and Bernardo Silva.
