With a sudden twist on the last day of the transfer window, Inter pulled off a move that very few would have expected just hours before the close of the summer window. With a lightning-fast negotiation finalized in the last few minutes, the Nerazzurri club reached an agreement with Manchester City for the transfer of Manuel Akanji.
The Swiss defender, a long-time target of the Nerazzurri management, is ready to undergo medical examinations before officially signing the new contract with Inter. As confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, Inter and Manchester City quickly reached an agreement based on a paid loan of 2 million euros with an option to buy for 15 million, which could become an obligation under difficult-to-achieve conditions.
Akanji in recent days had rejected Milan’s offer, as the Rossoneri club is not participating in the current Champions League. In front of Inter’s courtship, however, the 1995-born player—also highly sought after in the Premier League—did not hesitate to give the green light. The deal has already been finalized in every aspect, regardless of what the future holds for Benjamin Pavard.
