Original Title: Akanji on his last-minute transfer to Inter: “Suddenly, City had six fit centre-backs. When I saw that I wasn’t playing at the start of the season, I began looking at my options with my agent.” "Clubs usually demand loyalty from players, but they don’t always offer it themselves.”
“Suddenly, City had six fit centre-backs. When I saw that I wasn’t playing at the start of the season, I began looking at my options with my agent.”
“Clubs usually demand loyalty from players, but they don’t always offer it themselves. Therefore, as a player, sometimes you have to make selfish decisions that aren’t always understood from the outside.”
“How does a footballer handle a last-minute transfer? My wife and my children are at the centre of everything. Luckily, we had already discussed it thoroughly in advance.”
“Is the role of wives and partners in transfers underestimated? Of course. None of this would work without my wife. And her daily life is more stressful than mine, especially mentally.”
