With a long and challenging second half of the season underway, Juventus have submitted an offer for Bourissia Mochengladbach’s defensive midfielder Denis Zakaria in order to strengthen their unstable midfield.
According to reports from Fabrizio Romano, the Bianconeri have submitted an initial offer of €7M to the German giants for the Swiss International. As it stands, the 25 year-old’s contract with Bourissia Mochengladbach is set to expire at the end of this year’s current campaign. As a result, the Bundesliga side are seriously considering the Old Lady’s offer in order to avoid losing one of their most prized possessions on a free transfer.
Despite the fact that Juventus recently secured the signing of Dusan Vlahovic from Fiorentina, the club officials view Zakaria as crucial signing in order to provide reinforcements within the midfield.
As it stands, the Bianconeri are prepared to offload midfield outcasts Arthur Melo, Rodrigo Bentacur, and Aaron Ramsey prior to the closure of the winter transfer window. As a result, the Old Lady are pushing in order to complete the signing of the 25 year-old midfielder as they firmly believe his is the missing piece of the puzzle in order to fill the potential void.within Allegri’s squad.
Since joining Bourissia Mochengladbach in 2017 on a €10M transfer from Young Boys, the midfield dynamo has played a crucial role within the squad as he made 125 appearances and scored eleven goals for the German giants.
Although the thought of Zakaria arriving at the Allianz seems extremly nice, it will be very difficult for the Bianconeri to seal the signing as Premier League giants Tottenham are also keen on signing the world-class midfielder. Regardless, Juventus are prepared to put all of their focus on attaining the want-away Mochengladbach midfielder as the club strongly believes that he can be a pivotal asset in reclaiming glory within Italy through his immaculate passing ability, his stunning defensive abilities, and his extraordinary leadership qualities within the dressing room.
