According to multiple sources, negotiations are underway regarding Manuel Akanji, with Crystal Palace keen to finalise a deal with Manchester City as they look to strengthen their squad for the run-in. The defender has emerged as a top transfer target in recent weeks, and the player's representatives are also believed to be involved in early discussions on personal terms. Whether a deal can be struck remains to be seen, but there is increasing optimism that the transfer could go through in the coming days. Crystal Palace have laid out their intentions, but valuation and timing remain under debate. Inter, Tottenham and Milan are keeping tabs in case talks collapse or progress slows further. With only 5 goals conceded in 7 (0.71 per game), Crystal Palace have been one of the stronger defences in the Premier League this season.. Manuel Akanji would be asked to keep that standard and provide dependable cover when needed. Manchester City have also been linked with Senne Lammens, Ademola Lookman and Josh Acheampong while Crystal Palace are reportedly monitoring David Brooks, Reiss Nelson and Yeremy Santos.
