In the blog program of "Milan Sports", several Mid-style reporters commented on Akanji's decision to refuse Milan's choice to join Inter Milan.

Reporter Luca Bianchin said: "I have never seen any player refuse to join Milan, but he transferred to Inter Milan three days later. There have been some special circumstances before, but I really don't remember anything like this."

Regarding this transfer, reporter Luigi Garlano also expressed his opinion. He said: "This is almost an insult to Milan's history. Akanji said: 'I want to join Inter Milan because they can participate in the Champions League', and the Champions League has always been Milan's 'back garden', and they have won 7 Champions League championships. This transfer is a severe blow to Milan."
