Manchester United have been handed an apparent boost in their attempts to sign Manuel Akanji from Bundesliga outfit Borussia Dortmund this summer. According to reports, the Swiss defender has rejected a new contract offer and he will leave for around £20million during the upcoming window.
Despite settleing on Raphael Varane as a long-term partner for Harry Maguire last symmer, United continue to be linked with further moves in that position due to heavy criticism surrounding their £80million captain. Antonio Rudiger has been highlighted as another potential option.
Off-field issues at Chelsea mean the Germany international could be available on a free transfer this summer. Akanji, meanwhile, might be subject to a cut-price switch after this latest development.
