Italian club AC Milan has started discussions with Manchester City to explore a potential deal for defender Manuel Akanji. With the transfer window nearing its end, Milan is actively looking to strengthen its defense, and the 30-year-old Switzerland international has emerged as a key target.
⚽ Milan’s Defensive Reinforcement
AC Milan is keen to sign a new defender after the recent sale of Malick Thiaw to Newcastle. The club’s management has been actively searching for a suitable replacement to bolster their backline, leading them to identify Akanji as a strong candidate to fill the role.
🗣️ Exploring the Terms of a Deal
Talks between the two clubs are currently in the early stages. Milan has made contact with Man City to understand the financial aspects of a potential transfer, including the fee and player salary. However, a formal offer has not yet been submitted as Milan gathers more information.
✅ City’s Position and Akanji’s Choice
Manchester City is reportedly open to selling the central defender, suggesting a deal could be possible if the terms are met. Turkish club Galatasaray had previously shown interest in Akanji earlier in the summer, but a move did not happen. Ultimately, the final decision on whether to move to Italy will likely rest with Akanji himself.
