Probably the defeat on Sunday evening against Udinese convinced the Inter management that another addition in defense was still necessary to complete this squad. And so, on the last day of the transfer window, Manuel Akanji arrived from Manchester City on loan with an option to buy.
In recent days, Milan had also set their sights on the Swiss defender, as coach Max Allegri wanted a new defender. The Rossoneri (like Inter after Udinese), following their defeat at San Siro against Cremonese, also realized they needed new faces in the defensive department.
The attempt by sporting director Igli Tare with Manchester City for Akanji did not succeed, however, due to the wishes of the 1995-born defender. The Swiss player, in fact, made it known that he wanted a team participating in the Champions League, which is why he chose Inter over Milan, as revealed by Sky Sport.
