The centre-back has been a key figure under Cristian Chivu this season, quickly establishing himself as a regular starter and playing a central role in Inter’s march towards the Serie A title. His consistency has already satisfied one of the key conditions required to trigger a permanent transfer.
As part of the agreement struck last September, Inter committed to signing Akanji outright if two clauses were met: the defender reaching at least 50% of the club’s appearances across the season, and the team securing the Scudetto. The first target has long been achieved, while the second is now within touching distance.
