It's probably something they didn't want to do while the police investigation was ongoing (and it still is ongoing even now, right?). They were 'lucky' that the Benjamin Mendy case took a lot of attention off it.

Thought this one might crop up as he's a ball playing left sided centre back and counts as home grown. Been a bit woeful at City though and not sure Conte would be a fan. Preferable to Lenglet but would have thought Ndicka at £20m was a better, younger punt if we're struggling with top targets.
Tottenham want Ake with Manchester City open to offers
Tottenham Hotspur are one of the Premier League sides interested in signing Nathan Ake from Manchester City.tbrfootball.com
Tottenham Hotspur want Nathan Ake with Manchester City open to letting the defender leave the club during the summer transfer window, according to a report from 90min.
Ake has never quite been able to establish himself as a regular starter for Pep Guardiola’s side. But the City boss is a fan of the Dutchman.

Nevertheless, the Cityzens are open to selling the 27-year-old for the right offer. And there are a number of Premier League sides interested in signing the centre-back
90min reports that Tottenham want Ake. Meanwhile, they face competition from the likes of West Ham and Newcastle United for the £41 million defender.

It is noted that City still want a considerable sum for Ake – though some of his top-flight admirers want to take him on loan.
Tottenham want Nathan Ake
There is certainly no shame in not being a regular starter for City. And Ake is a player with a lot of quality.
Virgil van Dijk previously labelled his countryman ‘fantastic‘. And he is someone City paid more than £40 million to sign just two years ago.
Tottenham are still looking to sign a left-sided centre-back. They have, so far, had no luck with the likes of Alessandro Bastoni or Josko Gvardiol.
Ake would fill the void. He is excellent in possession, as you would expect from a centre-back in Guardiola’s squad. And you would imagine that he would be well suited to playing alongside Cristian Romero and Eric Dier in a back three.
Much may depend on how much City actually want for Ake. Reports have previously suggested that his asking price could be £50 million.
And Spurs are hoping to close the gap to them this year, which may impact the price. But he could certainly be a very smart signing if there is a deal to be done.

Besides the point, but Nando was a fantastic signing. Really the best we could hope for as a genuine back up striker that offers something different. Huge part of our magical CL run starting with PSV in the group stage.
Lolwhat? There's no way that one can be true. Surely they'd not be interested in Winks and that lot... it must be a troll or something.
Our dumping ground more like it.
Ok which one of you has infiltrated EFC daily?
Could also be spunking 100M on Ndombele and Lo Celso…
They have been linked to Doherty, Rodon, Winks, Ndombele, Lucas, Bergwijn & Clarke
You can have lot for a bargain £100mil
First Dele..... Now Doherty, Ndombele, Clarke, Lucas, Rodon, Berg, Winks.....
Everton are buying:

You need to start a "have we signed Nathan Ake yet" thread, mate
For me it's very simple.I'll never, ever understand why fans baulk at the price tag.
Complain that we're not treated by the media as a big club, then complain again when we finally start acting like one.
Jeez!
The club very reliably seems to do its worst business whenever we've pushed the boat out to pay the extra sum.
The more expensive the player, the less well scouted they seem to be.
