Haaland posted several photos with Akanji, captioning them with a heartfelt note: "A top player and a top guy! Proud to have been your mate at @bvb09 and at @mancity. Wishing you all the best, Manu! 🩵 @manuelobafemiakanji".

It's worth noting that Haaland and Akanji were teammates not only at Manchester City, but also at Borussia Dortmund, where they spent two and a half seasons together. The Swiss defender moved to England from Germany in the same transfer window as Erling, back in 2022. City paid €20 million for his transfer.

Now, Akanji is heading to Inter Milan on a one-year loan deal. The transfer fee amounted to €1 million.

Last season, Akanji featured in 40 matches for Manchester City across all competitions, contributing 2 assists.
