Any idea how much the Chelsea buy back option is?

Is it still active? Some reports say their buy back has expired.

When Chelsea received a transfer ban — covering the summer 2019 and winter 2020 windows — Bournemouth were delighted because the Ake clause is scheduled to expire before the summer 2020 window opens.-The Atlethic.

Someone said in this thread a few pages back that the option had expired

Saw that and gave up reading at this point.
"NATHAN AKE is in no rush to chase a move to Manchester City - because he could have his pick of some of the Premier League's biggest clubs this summer."
I mean, why would he rush to sign for us when some of the bggest clubs might want him.

Probably mean waiting for a bigger wage payer than us to buy him

Ha!
We have to wait for Sunday's result first
and Aké needs to decide if he wants many minutes in a lesser team
or less minutes in a great team.

Both ways make sense, it's just his own decision.

The thing is if Chelsea would have wanted him they would have got by now,
while we wait and wait before making a move

Made this to try and work out the reasoning behind this transfer. I think he could be a very useful addition. Didn't realise quite how well he holds up statistically until I did some research.

Very good. I’m convinced anyway, not sure why others aren’t
