Akanji, who joined City from Dortmund in 2022, now faces a decision ahead of the September 1 transfer deadline, according to the Daily Mail.

Already, Galatasaray have submitted a £15m bid for the player which Manchester City are willing to accept. 

Guardiola currently has nine defenders at his disposal, six of whom can play centrally.
