Some German journalist says that Inter have offered 10 mln for Akanji, and the deal could be sealed for 15.

There's no silver lining when you replace Ranocchia with an older and more expensive option. I don't even know if there's a big difference in quality. And don't even get me started on the whole Lazio-Milan incident.

This is a fucking travesty.
Acerbi is at least a NT veteran while Ranocchia is just a reserve player. Lazio-Milan travesty is the most misunderstood incident in this forum apparently.

Issue with replacing Ranocchia with Acerbi is our wages go up in that swap. Assumption is Acerbi wouldn't play much like Ranocchia didn't play much.

Anyway, let's hope we can blackmail Dortmund to give us Akanji for cheap (and persuade Zhang to allow us to sign him). Maybe it goes that we fail to sign Akanji, we loan Acerbi and sign Akanji for free for next summer.

Really should be unacceptable, inzaghi says the club knows the profile of the defender he wants if that was acerbi the deal would have been locked up long ago.

It's obvious he wants to play with a higher line. Zhang better give the okay.

Haha, Acerbi! It's our destiny.

Again the silver lining is, AT THE MOMENT, that they are talking about a loan deal. Let's hope if it doesn't go away completely, it stays there, in the loan deal.
Ever seen lotito do anyone a favor? He is not giving us a player on loan without an obligation even if the obligation is hidden as a gentleman's agreement.

Inzaghi really wants Akanji, so do others.

We sold Casadei to Chelsea for how much? €15m + €5m bonuses?

Prediction: we are ultimately unable to purchase Akanji because Dortmund set their asking price at exactly €15m + €5m. We end up eventually signing Acerbi on some demented loan + option which becomes an obligation after 30 minutes played.

That feel when Akanji is considered a miracle
I think you underrate him. I'd say he was top 5 if not top 3 CBs (after Alaba left) of the Bundesliga for the last 2 Seasons.
