A report claims that in-demand Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake is in no hurry to join Manchester City as he is also expecting offers from Manchester United and Chelsea.

Manchester United and Chelsea have reportedly joined Manchester City in the race to sign Bournemouth centre-back Nathan Ake.

The Netherlands international is rumoured to have already entered talks with recently-dethroned Premier League champions City over a £35m transfer.

According to The Sun, however, Ake is in no rush to complete a switch to the Etihad Stadium as he is expecting other offers to be tabled.

Chelsea retain a buy-back option on the 25-year-old after selling him to Bournemouth in 2017 and Frank Lampard is on the lookout for a new defender.

United are also searching for a player to partner Harry Maguire in the heart of their defence next season, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer known to be a fan of the Dutchman.

Bournemouth appear certain to cash in on Ake either way this summer, with the Cherries on the brink of being relegated from the Premier League.
