Would be absolutely perfect for us right now and for a couple of years at least. He is PL proven and would absolutely elevate the defence immediately.
I know Xhaka is likely on close (or over) 100k per week but I can't see us being able to afford Akanji? He'll be on lots more wont he?
Online suggests between 130-180k week. Gala won’t be matching that. Does seem a bit rich for us on that side like.
His national team captain being our captain definitely gives it a shot. As mentioned above though looks like the salary is impossible. That said. We categorically wouldn’t be relegated with a signing like that.
I would hesitate with "categorically",but it would take our defensive unit completely to another level.
I wouldn't say we wouldn't be categorically relegated at any stage at the minute.....however I would say that the gap,as you say,would be considerably widened!
Akanji still walks into most PL teams best Xl’s, convinced Gala are giving him a pay rise to go there. He would have much better options if he was willing to take a cut
A winger is important imo. IMO RLB doesn’t rate Roberts so using him when the others go to AFCON with some massive games isn’t for me
They’ve had a lot of big investments into that club recently. There’s a big push to get them challenging in the champions league every year. Osimhen is reported to be on about 250k a week. I could definitely see them going 100k-150k for a player like Akanji.
