The name that has been most mentioned over these last few months is none other than Nico Schlotterbeck, who currently plays of SC Freiburg. With the income Dortmund will bring in from his sale, they will look to bring in a player of equal, if not greater quality. Earlier in the window, it was assumed that Manuel Akanji would be a cheap replacement for Milan Skriniar because his 20 million price tag made him too expensive to just be a backup.

The club have however witnessed the best of him over the course of the last year and a half, where Akanji became one of Dortmund’s strongest defensive performers.Īccording to multiple sources, Borussia Dortmund have tried everything to this point to have Akanji extend, but it seems like the player is set on finding pastures new. As has been reported by Sportitalia, via FCInter1908, Inter could sign Manuel Akanji from Borussia Dortmund without selling Milan Skriniar. Over the course of his time with Dortmund, Akanji has been a very polarizing defender both with regards to his performances and injury issues. The Swiss international will have completed four and a half seasons with Dortmund come this summer. Akanji initially joined Dortmund in January of 2018. Arsenal have been linked with Manuel Akanji but Borussia Dortmund are yet to receive a single offer for the centre back. The Swiss international looks set to leave Borussia Dortmund in the summer, per RN and BILD.Īccording to the two reports, it would seem that the Black and Yellows are looking to get a fee in the region of 30 million euros for the defender with Manchester United interested in signing him.

Multiple reports claim that there is little to no chance Manuel Akanji will sign a new contract with Borussia Dortmund and will therefore depart in the summer.
