Inter, Akanji-Borussia is a war of nerves: Marotta observes (and hopes)

A war of nerves. Borussia Dortmund and Akanji go their own way, waiting for the situation to break free. The Swiss defender decided months ago not to renew the contract (expiring in 2023) with the Gialloneri, who therefore still only have this transfer window and the winter one to pocket something from the sale of him. The German club moved, going to take Schlotterbeck and Süle to reinforce the defense which also includes Hummels. With the three German internationals in the squad, the club sent a clear message to Akanji: either find a team that satisfies the demands of him and Dortmund, or he will be on the bench. Worse, because in fact he is out of the squad. Yet the player does not bend and waits for a level offer.

Game of nerves

–

Inter are waiting, with the hope that with the passing of the days Dortmund will lower the price of the card (currently around 25 million), in order to be able to get as close as possible to the player’s requests. At the same time, the Germans are hoping that some companies around the world will decide to put no less than 20 million on the plate. A solution will have to be found also because staying at Borussia (without renewal, which Akanji has already refused several times) is not convenient for anyone. This is why the last three weeks of the market will be a real war of nerves.
