What happened: Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji will transfer permanently to Inter Milan for €15 million. The deal is all set and due to be formalized in May, per Fabrizio Romano. It marks a significant outgoing move for the Premier League champions.

What to watch: Await official formalization in May and City's squad adjustments. Monitor defensive performances in upcoming Premier League matches.
