MANUEL AKANJI
Defender · Inter · Serie A
“A centre-back who carries play forward and keeps it safe.”
GoalPost verdict
GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
A veteran centre back in his peak years, Akanji carries value through rare reliability at the back, sharpened by his strongest recent form at Manchester City and a long, steady spell at Inter. His case is proven, not speculative.

Analysis overview
M. Akanji plays like a modern centre-back who is comfortable stepping into midfield with the ball at his feet. He carries it cleanly through pressure, then settles possession with calm, reliable retention before releasing the next pass. For Switzerland, that makes him a defender who can start attacks without losing control at the back.
