AC Milan are weighing up a potential move for Manchester City’s Manuel Akanji, with the club recently making contacts over the conditions of a deal, The Rossoneri are determined to bring in defensive reinforcements after just agreeing to bring in a new attacker before the window shuts down, and Akanji has emerged as one of the top targets.

The Swiss centerback is admired for his composure on the ball, quality Milan believe could strengthen their backline as they push for success across all competitions this season. However, it is said that no formal offer has been submitted yet to manchester city.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the development via his verified X handle, saying:
“AC Milan have asked for deal conditions for Manuel Akanji, no formal bid at this stage.
He’s one of 3 names on shortlist for new centre back. Galatasaray agreed £15m deal with Man City but not with the player so far.”
Softfootball understands that Milan are keeping their options open, with two other defenders also on their shortlist. Galatasaray’s stalled pursuit after earlier agreeing a deal with Manchester City has left an opening, but convincing both City and Akanji will not be straightforward.
With the transfer window set to close very soon , Milan know they must move quickly if they are to find any agreement with city for the player. The coming days will be crucial in determining whether Akanji becomes their latest signing or if the Rossoneri turn their focus to other players.
