- Aké is 4/6 to stay at Man City amid January transfer links and World Cup motivation.
- Crystal Palace are 6/1 second favourites, with Inter, Juventus and Newcastle at 10/1.
- Playing time a key factor as Netherlands defender eyes regular starts ahead of 2026.
Aké Odds-On to Stay But Palace Could Tempt With Regular Football
Manchester City defender Nathan Aké is 4/6 to remain at the Etihad beyond the January transfer window, but there is growing speculation that the Dutch international may push for a move.
With Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol firmly locked in as Pep Guardiola’s preferred centre-back pairing, Aké has struggled for consistent starts, something that could jeopardise his chances of starting for the Netherlands at the 2026 World Cup in North America.
Bookmakers now offer a variety of potential destinations, with Crystal Palace emerging as the strongest contender at 6/1, particularly with Man City showing interest in Palace defender Marc Guéhi.
This could very well pave the way for a January deal involving both players, with Guehi's contract running out at the end of the season.
bet365's latest market though gives a 60% implied probability that Ake stays at City beyond the January window.
Nathan Aké Next Club Odds (Club on 3rd Feb 2026)
| Nathan Aké Next Club | Odds | Implied Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Stay at Man City | 4/6 | 60.0% |
| Crystal Palace | 6/1 | 14.3% |
| Inter Milan | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Juventus | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Newcastle | 10/1 | 9.1% |
| Fulham | 14/1 | 6.7% |
World Cup Motivation Looming Over January Window
Aké has made no secret of his ambitions to feature at the highest level for the Dutch national teamand with the 2026 FIFA World Cup less than six months away, regular game time will be essential.
A move to Crystal Palace, where he would likely slot into the back line immediately if Guehi was to leave, would make sense both competitively and tactically.
Meanwhile, Italian sides Inter and Juventus offer European pedigree, but the risk of rotation may be just as high.
At 10/1, Newcastle could represent a surprise challenger, especially if the Magpies pursue defensive reinforcements in January amid injury troubles.
