This move would represent a slight financial loss for City. They signed the defender from Borussia Dortmund for &euro;20 million in 2022. Akanji is a versatile defender who contributed well to City&rsquo;s success in the past three years.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Capable of playing across the backline, he attracted interest from several clubs. It includes big names, like AC Milan, Galatasaray, Crystal Palace, Tottenham Hotspur, and Bayer Leverkusen.
