Akanji Calls for Inter to Trigger €15m Buy Option as Club Assesses Permanent Deal

The €15m clause becomes automatic only if Inter win Serie A with Akanji reaching the appearance threshold.

Overview

  • Manuel Akanji said he wants to stay in Milan, telling reporters he hopes Inter activate the option to buy him from Manchester City.
  • Inter signed the defender on deadline day on a €2m loan with a €15m option that turns mandatory based on title and appearance triggers.
  • Goal/AFP report he has started every league match and become a fixture in Cristian Chivu’s back line, adding four Champions League outings.
  • Gianluca Di Marzio, via FCInterNews, reports Inter intend to exercise the clause at season’s end, though this has not been confirmed by the club.
  • Reporting indicates Manchester City are unlikely to obstruct a sale if terms are met, with AC Milan having previously tried to sign the Swiss international.
