Serie A side Inter Milan have agreed to sign Manchester City defender Manuel Akanji on loan for one million euros (£870,000).

The deal includes an option to make the move permanent for 15m euros (£13m), which becomes an obligation if Inter win Serie A.

The 30-year-old Switzerland international has not featured for City this season and had interest from Crystal Palace, AC Milan and Galatasaray, but his preference was to move to a club playing in the Champions League.
