Marc Guehi joined Manchester City earlier this weekLiverpool have been encouraged to make an approach to Manchester City for a defender following their failure to land Marc Guehi. Former Anfield defender Stephane Henchoz believes City's Manuel Akanji, presently on loan at Inter Milan, would be an ideal acquisition. Akanji moved to City from Borussia Dortmund in 2022 and played a role in their historic treble success in 2023. When he arrived at City, Pep Guardiola heaped praise on the Switzerland international, who can also operate at full-back. He has proven his ability in the Premier League with Manchester City, despite a slightly difficult last season due to injury.
