AC Milan have approached Manchester City to inquire about the conditions for a potential deal involving defender Manuel Akanji.
Sources say no formal bid has been made, but the Swiss international is among three names on Milan’s shortlist as the club targets a new centre-back before the transfer window closes.
Meanwhile, Turkish champions Galatasaray are understood to have reached an agreement with Manchester City on a £15 million fee, though no deal has been struck with Akanji himself.
The situation remains open as Milan continue weighing their options.
