Following reports in Switzerland yesterday surrounding Manuel Akanji to Borussia Dortmund, Kicker report on Sunday that the FC Basel defender is already in the city, ready to undergo a medical.
The Swiss club were trying to drive a hard bargain and while a fee is yet to be finalised, it’s said that Borussia Dortmund will pay below €20 million, but the fee could rise above that based on performances.
Manchester United and Liverpool have both previously shown interest in the 22-year-old, but the report suggests that Akanji was only ever interested in joining Borussia Dortmund.
