JAKARTA - After deciding to leave Borussia Dortmund, Manuel Akanji found a new challenge in his career by becoming a part of Manchester City.
Marking this new adventure, the new player of The Citizens will also wear a new jersey number. He chose to use the jersey number previously worn by influential player at the club, Fernandinho.
At Dortmund, Akanji originally used the number 16 jersey. Now that he has officially become part of Manchester City, Akanji is confirmed to wear the number 25.
Quoted from Sportbible, the jersey number appears to be a sacred number in the team. Finally, the number 25 jersey is used by Fernandinho.
The Brazilian is a former captain and legend of life The Citizens. Fernandinho has won eight major trophies during his base in the Etihad, including five Premier League titles.
Before Fernandinho, goalkeeper Joe Hart also wore the number 25 shirt in City.
Wearing a sacred jersey number at the Etihad, Akanji admitted that he had the honor. In his statement, Akanji admitted that he could not wait to play for his new club soon.
"I really like the style of football this team plays. I think I can match that style and can't wait to come back," said Akaji on Manchester City's official website.
At his new club, Akanji is presented with a contract with The Citizens over the next five seasons or until June 2027. City's decision to recruit Akanji also has a strong reason.
Pep Guardiola's polesan squad experienced a bit of a crisis in the defense area, especially in the central defender sector. The situation was experienced by City because Nathan Ake and Aymeric Laporte were injured. As a result, Guardiola only had a Ruben Dias-John Stones duet on the field.
