Manuel Akanji is reportedly at the centre of ongoing transfer discussions between Milan and Manchester City - according to a number of reliable sources. The defender has attracted serious transfer interest in recent weeks, and talks are now in progress to see if there's a deal to be done. Sources close to the deal suggest negotiations are active, with both sides working to find common ground over the player's potential move. While Inter, Tottenham and Crystal Palace have shown interest, Milan currently lead the race - though the situation could evolve if a deal drags on. With only 3 goals conceded in 6 (0.5 per game), Milan have been one of the stronger defences in the Serie A this season.. Manuel Akanji would be asked to keep that standard and provide dependable cover when needed. Manchester City continue to be linked with Senne Lammens, Ademola Lookman and Josh Acheampong while Milan are also rumoured to be tracking Juan Foyth, Andreas Christensen and Christopher Nkunku.
