Akanji would be able to collect 15 million euros a year from the English record champions, a sum that not even the top earners Süle, Mats Hummels (33; 10 million euros a year each) and Marco Reus (32; 12 million euros) reach at Dortmund. With his current contract, which dates back to his €21.5 million move from FC Basel in January 2018 and is valid until June 2023, the Swiss is nowhere near that salary, and a recent offer to extend it also included, according to “WAZ“ only between 7 and 9.5 million euros.

So that Dortmund can still receive a transfer fee in the event of a change, the deal is already planned for next summer, according to “Bild”. Akanji is said to cost between €25m and €30m and will receive a four-year working paper in Manchester. With this sum, the right foot would be one of the ten most expensive sales in BVB club history, after Jadon Sancho (2021 for 85 million) and Henrikh Mkhitaryan (2016 for 42 million) the third prominent transfer to Man United.

BVB: Defensive upheaval continues – what will happen to Hummels & Zagadou?

A departure from Akanji, who has made 150 appearances (three goals/two assists) in four years, would mean further personnel consequences at Borussia. Hummels’ contract also ends in 2023, that of Dan-Axel Zagadou (22) even in four months. In addition, loan player Marin Pongracic (24) is expected to leave the club. In addition to Süle and Hummels, coach Marco Rose would now only have two central defenders plus young talent Soumaïla Coulibaly (17) for the coming season.
