The Swiss international stayed in the Etihad Stadium for two years.
But he has not played a minute in the Premier League for Pep Guardiola’s team in the Premier League this season.
And it seems that he could be set on Monday evening for an exit before the transmission period.
Akanji escaped from Borussia Dortmund to Man City in 2022 and he made 158 appearances in all competitions.
Since Tottenham was now interested, the two-time Premier League champion could take a step.
Thomas Frank watches another central defender to give his already large collection of defenders additional quality.
Akanji would join the Club captain Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Kevin Danso and Radu Dragusin as options in the center of defense.
Dragusin is currently working back in fitness after an ACL injury, while Ben Davies did not present his season.
Frank experimented with a back five in the UEFA Super Cup, and that could be a goal with Akanji in his thinking for the future.
However, it may not be an uncomplicated deal to do it …

The fight begins
Tottenham is not the only team of the Premier League that looks at Akanji before the deadline.
Talksport understands that Crystal Palace is also interested.
Palace identified the 30-year-old as a potential replacement for Marc Guehi if he left Selhurst Park.
Liverpool is still interested in Guehi, who is now his last year of his agreement with the Eagles.
Manager Oliver Glasner hesitated to let go of his central defender after selling Star Man Eberechi eze to Arsenal.
But it seems that Palace is looking for options to replace it if he should go, and Spurs now offers some competition.

To sign Simons
Should Akanji Tottenham join, he would become her second late signing this summer transfer window.
Talksport understands that Spurs Xavi Simons sign.
The Simons of RB Leipzig is about to promote the Premier League worth 51.8 million GBP.
The Dutch completed his medicine in North London after arriving from Germany on Thursday.
His step comes from Chelsea, who had agreed personal conditions with the 22-year-old.
However, a club-to-club agreement could not be achieved, which means that Spurs were able to deal and follow the approach.
