Manchester City center-back Manuel Akanji may be headed to Galatasaray to reunite with teammate Victor Osimhen ahead of the upcoming season. Renowned transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano reports that the Turkish champions have initiated contact with Manchester City over Akanji’s availability. Eager to reinforce their defensive line-up this transfer window, Galatasaray views the Swiss international as a desirable addition to the center-back position. In parallel, the Istanbul side has also held discussions with Akanji’s agent, aiming to reach personal terms with the player. Still, Akanji must make a call regarding his future at City before the transfer window shuts in the approaching days. The 30-year-old Swiss featured on the bench during Manchester City’s 4–0 Premier League victory over Bournemouth but did not enter the match. With competition fierce—especially from John Stones, Rúben Dias, and emerging talent Abdukodir Khusanov—Akanji will need to finalize his decision shortly to determine his next chapter.
