Overview

• Fabrizio Romano and multiple outlets report Tottenham have approached Manchester City for Akanji, placing Spurs among the frontrunners before Monday’s deadline.
• Manchester City are open to a sale at around £15m/€15–17.5m, having previously accepted a Galatasaray offer that the defender did not take up.
• AC Milan remain in discussions and are exploring multi‑year wage structures, with reports suggesting willingness to meet the fee while personal terms are still unresolved.
• Crystal Palace are also monitoring the situation as they assess centre‑back options, with interest linked to potential movement around Marc Guehi.
• Akanji has not featured for City in the league this season, and the club’s Champions League registration squeeze next week is intensifying efforts to finalize his future.
