Akanji joins Inter on loan | OneFootball

Manuel Akanji has joined Italian club Inter on a season-long loan deal, subject to international clearance.

The Swiss international moved to City from Borussia Dortmund in September 2022 and has made 136 appearances for the Blues.

He’s won seven trophies during his time at the Etihad Stadium playing a major part in our historic Treble during his debut season and the following campaign when we became the first English men’s team to win four league titles in a row.

In total, Akanji has lifted two Premier League titles, one UEFA Champions League, one FIFA Club World Cup, one FA Cup, one Community Shield and one UEFA Super Cup during a memorable campaign in Manchester.

The defender made 48 appearances in the 2022/23 season, scoring in the unforgettable 4-0 victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final at the Etihad.

He also started the FA Cup final win over Manchester United and played a crucial part in the build-up to Rodri’s winner in the Champions League final triumph over his new side.

The following season again saw him feature on 48 occasions, playing 30 times in the Premier League and in all UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup fixtures as we lifted those trophies.

He played 40 games in 2024/25 with his most recent City appearance coming in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup defeat to Al-Hilal.

He will now link up with Serie A side Inter under recently appointed boss Christian Chivu.

Everyone at Manchester City wishes Manuel the best for the rest of the season.
