According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City are ‘in talks’ with Borussia Monchengladbach over Denis Zakaria. We’re said to have a ‘good relationship’ with the 23-year-old’s agent and want to procure his signature next summer.
Pep Guardiola has Kevin De Bruyne, Ilkay Gundogan, Rodri and Fernandinho to call upon in midfield, but Rodri isn’t a prolific ball-winner and the 35-year-old Fernandinho is out of contract in 2021, so we might need a new face in the engine room.
Zakaria joined Gladbach from BSC Young Boys in 2017 and has gone on to make 98 appearances in all competitions, scoring eight goals with six assists.
