Last week, Yagiz Sabuncuoglu reported Manchester City’s Manuel Akanji was nearing a move to Galatasaray.
The journalist claimed the player had agreed personal terms with the Turkish club, who were about to reach a final agreement with the Citizens.
It now seems like a move hasn’t closed yet and this has given an opportunity to AC Milan.
Calciomercato report that the Manchester City player’s profile has garnered interest at the San Siro in the last few hours.
The Rossoneri want to bolster their backline and many at the club are appealed by the idea of signing the 30-year-old. A move is taking shape and La Repubblica offer more information.
The newspaper report Milan have tried to find out about Akanji’s situation by making contact. This is because even though there was an agreement between Galatasaray and Manchester City, the Switzerland international is yet to give the green light for a transfer.
He is now the ‘chosen option’ for Max Allegri’s side, who made contact with Bayern Munich for Kim Min-Jae on Wednesday and then moved on to explore Akanji’s situation.
The defender is said to be out of Pep Guardiola’s project this season and is exploring an exit from the Etihad Stadium.
