You clearly are on some tantrum here. Ake even said a few weeks ago that he was staying and then Chelsea came along with better terms. It’s not rocket science. He himself could’ve stayed but there are better terms at Chelsea. It’s been widely reported that City want him to stay. You are going around saying Pep wants him out, which is just incorrect. Now chill.

Tantrum? are you taking the proverbial?You clearly are on some tantrum here. Ake even said a few weeks ago that he was staying and then Chelsea came along with better terms. It’s not rocket science.

Ake is under contract so if Pep/City want him to stay why is he negotiating with Chelsea?
You need to understand what negotiations and leaving on good terms is about.

This is one of those discussions that ends up where it started and everyone looks puzzled and wonders if they should go around again :-)

Has a fee been agreed yet ?
Sigh... you understand what personal preferences are? Is it really this hard to understand a situation where Ake would like both but prefers the opportunity to play more at his academy club?Tantrum? are you taking the proverbial?

It’s just back to it’s not black and white stay or go.So according to you Pep wants him to stay?
again if so, why has Ake agreed terms with Chelsea?
Pep wants him to stay, Ake wants to stay, if that's true why are Chelsea in the picture>? Your theory does not make sense.
sterling and Torres wanted out and sterling in last year of his contract. Jesus wanted to leave for regular football. Ake didn’t ask to leave and has time in his contract. In fact a few weeks ago was saying he was happy and looking forward to a good season. But, we are happy for him to leave. If you can’t see the difference….
Torres didn't want out, not till Barcelona approached him and tempted him. He said as much, he said he was happy but an opportunity too good to miss came up. Ake sounds like he is the same, happy to be here, Chelsea have approached and tempted him and now the club are letting Chelsea come forward with an offer. Eric Garcia was the same with Barcelona, except they didn't come up withnan offer good enough, and same with Sane who was approached by Bayern. The exact same was claimed of Bernardo and Laporte last summer, the same will happen to lots of our players. We are currently doing it with Cucurella, did it with Phillips earlier and Alvarez in January.
The only reason to portray that as Pep or other managers not wanting players out is because you don't like the players.

Rarely deals like this take months, they can take a few weeks but they can also be done in a few days if they want. A player can be happy at aclub, Ake is, yet still be tempted when a opportunity pops up. Doesn't mean hes unhappy or that anyone particulary wants him to go.Because deals like this take months, all parties knew the situation, if we received a suitable offer he could leave,
We are a superbly run club, we look after players even if we want them to leave, it helps long term.

So wait, Pep wants every single one of our players out? Because that applies to literally everyone, as he and both tixiki ferran have said many times before.
I understand the reality of a player deemed not up to standard by a manager.Sigh... you understand what personal preferences are? Is it really this hard to understand a situation where Ake would like both but prefers the opportunity to play more at his academy club?
A player who did not get game time despite Stones, Laporte , Dias and Walker all injured, a 36 year old with no legs playing as a makeshift CB in front of Mr Ake.
A world cup on the horizon and a hugely reliable ITK telling us on here that Ake was informed by the Dutch, he needs to be playing regularly to play in the World Cup.
That all adds up to player and club parting very amicably, saying all the right tings in public but leaving for the benefit of all parties.
