Inter Milan Ready to Sign Loanee Manuel Akanji Permanently

Defender Manuel Akanji, currently on loan from Manchester City, has quickly impressed everyone at Inter Milan. His strong performances since joining in the final days of the summer transfer window have already convinced the club’s management to consider making his stay a permanent one.

✅ A Quick and Easy Decision

It seems Inter Milan have already seen enough to make up their minds about the Switzerland international. Even though it is still early in the season, the club is reportedly very happy with his contribution and is ready to commit to signing him permanently, regardless of whether certain performance clauses are met.

✍️ Understanding the Transfer Details

Akanji’s loan deal includes an option for Inter to buy him for €15 million. This purchase becomes mandatory if he plays in 50% of the team’s games this season. However, sources say that Inter’s management is prepared to complete the signing even if he doesn’t reach that number of appearances, showing their strong belief in his abilities.

👀 A Long-Held Interest

This move is particularly satisfying for Inter’s chief, Piero Ausilio, who has been an admirer of Akanji for a long time. Ausilio had previously tried to sign the defender from Borussia Dortmund for €10 million three years ago, but Manchester City secured the deal instead. Now, it looks like Inter will finally get their player.
