According to the publication, Barça has already been more interested in the 25-year-old Swiss player, especially during the tenure of technical secretary Ramón Planes. After his departure, however, the desire to have the athlete cooled a little.
In addition, the arrival of coach Xavi Hernández may also impact an eventual arrival. That’s because the coach prefers more technical and agile players, like Gavi and Pedri. Zakaria, in turn, is 1.90m and has a more physical and defensive profile, despite the quality of the pass.
However, despite the factors presented, Zakaria is still in the sights of the Catalan club, which sees an eventual arrival as a market opportunity – he will be able to sign a pre-contract from January onwards. In addition to Barça, Bayern Munchen, Borussia Dortmund e Juventus also have an interest in the player.
Since 2017 at Monchengladbach, Denis Zakaria has played 144 games for the team, scoring 11 goals and eight assists. This season, he’s played 16 games, hit the net twice and made a decisive pass.
