Overview

• ESPN reports City have been contacted about Akanji and would only sanction a sale if their valuation is met.
• The Sporting News reports an official offer to Akanji, with his representatives scheduled to meet Galatasaray to discuss terms.
• Sources say Galatasaray are also interested in goalkeeper Ederson, and City would consider an exit only if the player signals he wants to leave.
• The Turkish champions want a defender and a goalkeeper in place ahead of the Sept. 2 Champions League list and before the Sept. 12 domestic window closes.
• Both clubs have fallback options, with Galatasaray evaluating Diogo Costa and Yann Sommer and City potentially eyeing Gianluigi Donnarumma if Ederson moves.
