Manchester City Agree on Akanji’s Loan to Inter Milan…
Manu Akanji is packing his bags for a trip to Inter Milan after Manchester City opened the door for a loan move. The Swiss international, who’s experienced more bench time than a park pigeon, might be heading to Italy on deadline day due to limited game time. Akanji has been a key part of Guardiola’s team since his 2022 arrival from Dortmund, but lately, it seems he’s become about as favorable as pineapple on pizza in the starting lineup. He missed the squad against Spurs and was a benchwarmer in two other matches.
City needs to reduce their squad numbers, mainly because Guardiola prefers a tight-knit group where everyone remembers each other’s birthdays. They’re carrying two extra non-homegrown players for the Champions League roster, so Akanji’s potential move is timely. Clubs like Galatasaray, Tottenham, and AC Milan came knocking, but it’s the Italian giants, Inter, who’ve intrigued him with promised Champions League magic and pasta perfection. Meanwhile, City is orchestrating a goalie swap that rivals a sitcom: Ederson to Fenerbahce and Gianluigi Donnarumma from PSG, ensuring both keepers find clarity in their career paths.
