Inter Milan has officially secured the permanent signing of defender Manuel Akanji<\/b> from Manchester City. The move was finalized after the Nerazzurri clinched their 21st Serie A title following a 2-0<\/b> victory over Parma, which automatically triggered a mandatory purchase clause in his loan agreement.<\/p>\nThe Details of the Deal<\/h3>\n
As reported by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Inter will pay Manchester City a fee of \u20ac15 million to make the Swiss international\u2019s stay permanent. The transfer hinged on two specific performance-based conditions:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u2022 Playing Time<\/b>: Akanji needed to feature in at least 50% of the season\u2019s matches\u2014a milestone he surpassed with 44 appearances across all competitions.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u2022 Sporting Success<\/b>: Inter had to win the Serie A championship, which was confirmed with three rounds to spare.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Since joining on loan in September 2025, the 30-year-old center-back has become a vital component of Simone Inzaghi\u2019s defensive unit. Akanji quickly established himself as a regular starter, contributing two goals and helping Inter maintain the league\u2019s most stable backline.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Akanji is expected to sign a long-term contract extending until the summer of 2028. This marks the end of a successful chapter at Manchester City, where he played a pivotal role in their historic treble-winning campaign before moving to Italy. For Inter, the permanent acquisition of Akanji signals their intent to maintain domestic dominance and build a lasting project at the top of European football.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Inter Milan has officially secured the permanent signing of defender Manuel Akanji from Manchester City.
