Akanji had a failed move to Galatasaray earlier this year, but now he will have the opportunity to prove himself in the Serie A with title challengers Inter Milan. The deal involves a €2 million loan fee, with a €15 million buy option clause that will become mandatory under certain conditions.
According to reports, Akanji will undergo a medical examination before joining Inter Milan. The deal also includes a clause that will require Inter Milan to pay a part of Akanji's salary if he proves to be a useful signing for manager Cristian Chivu.
The deal includes interesting clauses that Inter Milan may have to pay if Akanji meets certain conditions. For example, the buy option clause will become mandatory if Akanji plays at least 50% of Inter Milan's games and the team wins the Serie A title this season.
In his previous stint in the Premier League, Akanji recorded 5 clean sheets in 26 appearances for Manchester City. He also managed 30 clean sheets in 119 Bundesliga appearances for Borussia Dortmund before joining City in 2022.
