Another player discarded by Guardiola leaves: Inter Milan signs Akanji on a €2 million loan with a €15 million buy option.

Manchester City, coached by Guardiola, has faced back-to-back Premier League losses, dropping two of their initial three games this season. Their points are below Manchester United’s, and Guardiola’s dismissal threat surpasses that of Amolin. Grealish, rejected by Guardiola, was loaned to Everton this season and assisted in consecutive matches during rounds 2 and 3. Now, Akanji, who hasn't appeared in any Premier League matches this season, is also set to depart. Considering that Hussanov, who started in the 3rd round, was outplayed by Brighton players as if it were 3:30 AM on an empty street, Guardiola’s player selections are questionable.

According to the latest report from renowned Italian journalist Romano, Inter Milan has secured a loan deal for Manchester City's 30-year-old Swiss defender Akanji. The loan fee is €2 million for one year, with a €15 million purchase option. Under certain challenging conditions, this will convert into an obligatory purchase, with the triggering criteria beingAkanji must play at least 50% of Inter Milan’s matches, and Inter must win the Serie A title this season.Both conditions must be met simultaneously for the loan to convert into a mandatory purchase.

At 30 years old, Akanji stands 1.88 meters tall, plays as a right-footed defender, earns a weekly wage of £180,000, and is valued at €28 million by Transfermarkt with two years remaining on his contract. Without any prior indication, Guardiola has completely sidelined Akanji this season. Inter Milan can acquire a player valued at €28 million for a total of €17 million, making this an extremely cost-effective signing. Even if Inter chooses not to exercise the buy option, spending €2 million for one season is still a worthwhile deal.
