Gazzetta: Inter set to sign Akanji permanently, latest updates | OneFootball

A few hours before the start of the transfer market, today's edition of "La Gazzetta Dello Sport" provided an update on the situation regarding the future of Manuel Akanji, who has regained his best form at Inter.

Gazzetta- Inter, ready to redeem Akanji: the latest

This is what the pink newspaper reported: "Inter's intention is to redeem him anyway. Akanji has been impeccable so far. Six months as an added Swiss army knife, a bit of a wingback and a bit of a central defender, very reliable. Gazzetta's average rating of 6 (with three yellow cards), 13 appearances out of 13 as a starter in the league and all for ninety minutes. Chivu has never substituted him. He only remained on the bench against Bologna in the Super Cup and Venice in the Italian Cup, playing three out of six in the Champions League from the first minute. In Serie A – among central defenders – he is fourth for completed passes every 90' (61.6 per game), and at Inter, he is second for duels won (50). A certainty that is almost never given up. Also because the Swiss player, destined for his third World Cup this summer, can play both wide and in the center of defense. A dual role that the Nerazzurri coach has relied on on several occasions. For this reason, the higher-ups at Inter are determined to redeem him. Akanji is approaching 31 years old, but experience is on his side: "I hope to stay here," he said about a month ago, "we'll see what happens this season, then we'll decide what to do with the club. Now I am very happy in Milan." Inter is also pleased with him."
