Among the Inter players called up by their respective National Teams during this Serie A break, there is also the new signing Manuel Akanji. The defender, born in 1995, arrived on loan with an option to buy on the last day from Manchester City and chose the black and blue shirt with the number 25.
At the moment, he is at the training camp with his National Team, Switzerland, with whom he will have to play important matches for the qualification to the next World Cup in 2026. In the past few hours, Akanji spoke at a press conference with the Swiss media and commented on his move to Inter with these words:
CHOICE – “When Inter called, I didn’t have to think twice. The advantage is that they play with a three-man defense. Sommer? I can’t wait to meet him, he’s already written to me. I had other offers but I had clear ideas. I still want to play at the highest level in Europe, and with Inter I have definitely achieved that.”
BOND – “My first football shirt was that of Christian Vieri from Inter. Inter had already tried to sign me three years ago. Also, my sister’s boyfriend is a huge Inter fan and for this reason I already feel a connection with this club.”
SAN SIRO – “I can’t wait to play my first match at San Siro. The first game will be away against Juventus but after that I can’t wait to play at home in front of the new fans.”
