Follow the team: Galatasaray is willing to sign Akanji 15 million, and wants to pack Ederson + Gundoan

Hupu, August 22, According to the English media Daily Mail Manchester City team reporter Jack Gaughan, the reporter updated the future situation of Manchester City central defender Akanji.

Galatasaray is reportedly willing to meet Manchester City's valuation of Swiss defender Akanji, who is also considering his future at the Etihad Stadium. He may leave this summer.

The Turkish champion club hopes to sign Akanji and Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson, and has a long interest in another midfielder in Manchester City, Gundogan. All three are on the club's signing list.

It is reported that Galatasaray is willing to pay £15 million to sign Akanji, and the transfer window will be closed on September 1, and Akanji has also attracted the attention of other teams.

The Swiss international transferred from Dortmund to Manchester City for a transfer fee of £15 million three years ago, and is a key member of the team's triple-championship achievement in 2022-2023.

But as Manchester City coach Guardiola hopes to streamline the team this month, he currently has nine defenders available. Six of them can play centre-back, while Akanji's rival Rico Lewis is about to sign a new five-year contract after attracting interest from Nottingham Forest.

Therefore, 30-year-old Akanji is evaluating his choice and will be allowed to decide on his next move in the future. Neither he and Gundogan got a chance to play in the first round against Wolves last weekend, but were just sitting on the bench.

Guardiola said that maintaining the current scale of the team's lineup in the next few months is not good for the team's morale. Meanwhile, Argentine teenager Echeviri has joined Leverkusen on loan for one season and has no buyout option.
