Manchester City defender, Manuel Akanji, could be on his way to Galatasaray this summer, joining Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen at the Turkish club.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Galatasaray have officially approached Manchester City for Akanji’s signature.
Galatasaray’s Summer Transfer Plans
The Turkish champions are looking to strengthen their squad in the current transfer window and have identified Akanji as a key target to reinforce their defense.
Club officials have already spoken to Akanji’s representatives in an attempt to secure a personal agreement.
Akanji Yet to Decide Future at Man City
Despite the interest, Akanji is yet to make a final decision regarding his Manchester City future.
With the summer transfer window closing in a few days, the Switzerland international must decide whether to remain in England or make the switch to Turkey.
Recent Role at Manchester City
Akanji, 30, was an unused substitute in Manchester City’s 4-0 victory over Bournemouth in their Premier League opener last weekend.
His competition for game time includes John Stones, Rúben Dias, and Abdukodir Khusanov in Pep Guardiola’s squad.
Possible Partnership with Osimhen
If the move materializes, Akanji could join Victor Osimhen at Galatasaray, creating a strong defensive and attacking presence for the Istanbul-based side.
