Akanji is about to leave Manchester City, and he will win a triple-winning championship with the team in his debut season, and starts a new career in Serie A

Manchester City Football Club defender Manuel Akanji is reported to be transferring to Serie A Inter Milan Club, and the rumors of transfers that have lasted for many days are about to be settled. The Swiss defender's potential next home has changed many times before, and has been linked to clubs such as Galatasaray, Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United and AC Milan.

According to the latest news from Sky Sports Italy Channel, Akanji will represent Inter Milan in the new season, and the club has reached an agreement with Manchester City on loan. The agreement includes a 2 million euro rental fee, as well as a buyout option of 15 million euros next summer, equivalent to about 13 million pounds and about 17.5 million US dollars. If the deal is completed, Manchester City will face minor financial losses, with the club paying Dortmund €20 million to introduce the defender in 2022.

Akanji quickly showed his value after joining Manchester City. He won the Champions League with the team in the first season and achieved a triple-champion achievement. Coach Guardiola once commented on his performance as a top defender after his debut. The player who is competent for multiple positions in the defense continued to maintain his main position in the 2023-24 season, but missed 19 games last season due to injury, and Manchester City also experienced the most difficult season during Guardiola's coaching period.

In the past six months, Manchester City has continued to promote the construction of the younger lineup. Guardiola emphasized the need to keep the lineup streamlined while introducing new players. He clearly stated at the end of the season that he refused to over-inflate the lineup and said that if multiple players cannot get the chance to play, he will choose to leave the club.
