This morning the latest signing made by Inter at the end of the transfer window, Manuel Akanji, was presented. The Swiss center-back, who arrived on loan from Manchester City, spoke highly of the Nerazzurri club on the club’s official channels, expressing his hope to return to the Champions League final: “For me, Inter is the biggest club in Italy and one of the biggest in the world, and it has proven that in recent years. It was really easy for me to choose this club.”
ROLE – “I can play in all positions in a back three, I have also played in the center for the Swiss national team. I can play in different positions, but obviously it will be up to the coach to decide where to use me.”
EXPERIENCE – “Inter has shown it is capable of reaching important finals, I hope we can reach the final again and win it this time. We have already faced each other in a final, two years ago, and this time I hope Inter wins it.”
SERIE A – “It will be different from the Premier League, and the Bundesliga was different too. I have watched many Serie A matches, I know the teams that play here. I really like this league, it’s another reason why I’m here, I can’t wait to meet the coach and see how we play.”
SOMMER – “He sent me a message, but I received so many messages from friends and my family. Yann offered his help for these first few days here, I can’t wait to meet him too.”
FANS – “I am very eager to meet Inter’s fans at San Siro, in the first home match we will play: I am waiting for that moment.”
