FM: Galatasaray 15 million pounds oral offer Akanji, Manchester City asks 18 million pounds

Hupu, August 20th, According to FootMercato chief reporter Santi Aouna, the reporter updated some signings from Manchester City. These include central defender Akanji, goalkeeper Ederson's departure, and the joining of Paris goalkeeper Donaluma.

About Akanji's situation

It is reported that the Turkish giant club Galatasaray's verbal offer for Akanji is 15 million pounds, while Manchester City hopes to sell the Swiss central defender for 18 million pounds, and negotiations are currently being made between the clubs.

Akanji's agent will negotiate with Galatasaray on Wednesday local time. Akanji, 30, will expire in the summer of 2027. According to previous reports by famous reporter Romano, if the Swiss central defender agrees to leave, Manchester City will not hinder him from leaving.

Regarding the situation of Ederson and Donnarumma

It is reported that Manchester City and Paris have started transfer negotiations with Donnarumma. The two clubs have made key progress on the transfer of the Italian national team. Within the past 48 hours, the two sides have entered the direct negotiation stage, focusing on discussing the details of the transfer fee.

Paris initially priced the Italian goalkeeper to €45 million to €50 million, but Manchester City made it clear that they were reluctant to pay such a high fee. Given that Donaluma's contract is only one year away and Paris hopes to release its high salary space through the sale, the two sides are expected to reach an agreement near half of the initial asking price. Manchester City coach Guardiola regards Donnarumma as an important signing target, and is under consideration whether it completes the deal this summer or does not have a visa exemption next year.

At the same time, Manchester City is also promoting the transfer of current goalkeeper Ederson. Turkish Super League giant Galatasaray has made a offer of 10 million to 12 million euros, but this offer is still slightly lower than Manchester City's psychological expectations.
