Overview

• Tottenham have made an approach for the 30-year-old centre-back, with Fabrizio Romano reporting he is on a three-man shortlist as Spurs look to add a defender before the window closes.
• AC Milan have held talks and are described as ready to meet a £15m fee, though no agreement on personal terms has been reached, and one outlet claims a five-year offer has been proposed.
• Crystal Palace are exploring a move and are waiting on the player’s decision, with interest linked to potential movement around Marc Guehi’s future.
• Manchester City are open to a sale in the ~£15m range after an earlier €17.5m agreement with Galatasaray fell through when Akanji declined the move.
• Akanji has not featured this season and sits outside Pep Guardiola’s immediate plans, with Manchester Evening News noting Champions League registration pressures and expectations of an exit in the coming days.
