Overview

• Inter have decided to activate the reported €15 million buyout to keep Akanji permanently, according to multiple Italian reports.
• The loan includes conditions that would turn the deal into an obligation if Inter win Serie A and Akanji features in at least half of matches, yet the club intends to retain him regardless.
• CEO Beppe Marotta has reportedly informed the defender’s camp of the plan to trigger the clause.
• Tuttosport reports the Switzerland international has agreed personal terms on a contract worth about €4.5 million per year through 2028.
• Akanji has quickly become a regular under Cristian Chivu with several starts across Serie A and the Champions League, supporting Inter’s defensive planning as contracts for Francesco Acerbi and Stefan de Vrij near expiry in 2026.
