Inter Poised to Seal €15 Million Permanent Deal for Akanji After Impressive Start

Italian reports indicate Inter are prepared to activate the buy option without waiting for appearance or title clauses to trigger.

Overview

Akanji joined Inter from Manchester City on a one-season loan that carries a €15 million purchase clause following a €1 million loan fee.
The option converts to an obligation if he features in at least 50% of Inter’s matches this season or if the club wins Serie A.
Fabrizio Romano reports Inter have already decided to buy the Switzerland defender outright and could activate the clause early.
Separate Italian reporting relayed by OneFootball suggests formalizing the purchase is likely to occur in the summer of 2026.
Akanji has quickly become a regular under Cristian Chivu, starting multiple Serie A matches and a Champions League win at Ajax after Inter fast-tracked the move following Benjamin Pavard’s exit.
