Juventus are said to have a good chance of signing Borussia Dortmund defender Manuel Akanji, who has also been linked with a move to Manchester United in recent months, Megasportsarena.com understands.
Borussia Dortmund have already bolstered their defence ahead of next season with the signings of Niklas Süle and Nico Schlotterbeck. Their arrivals mean that the Black and Yellows will look to sell Manuel Akanji in the summer transfer window.
Akanji’s contract with Borussia Dortmund is set to expire at the end of next season. And he has already rejected the club’s offer of an extension. So far, Manchester United have been considered to be the favourites for his signature. But according to reports, Juventus are also interested in the Swiss centre-back, and they are said to have a good chance of signing him.
Akanji has been one of Borussia Dortmund’s top performers in defence this season. But even he has not been able to prevent Marco Rose’s side from conceding 50 goals in just 32 Bundesliga matches this season.
Reports have also claimed in recent months that Borussia Dortmund want a transfer fee of 30 million euros for the sale of Akanji.
Akanji remains one of the best defenders in the Bundesliga, so losing him will be a big blow for Borussia Dortmund. But Sebastian Kehl and co. have done a great job of cushioning that blow with the signings of Niklas Süle and Nico Schlotterbeck.
