Among all the well-known football clubs, who are interested in Denis Zakaria, seems to be missing, of all things, his dream club: FC Barcelona. Is it temporarily bearable, because the Swiss is planning a career in small steps, and only 22 years old. From his childhood club Servette Geneva, he is changed in 2015 to the Young Boys of Bern, 2017 to Borussia Mönchengladbach.
they were two rather small steps into the limelight of the European football , but the next will probably follow a fairly big step, because the benefits of the Bundesliga table leader and his Central defensive midfielder have attracted the attention of many Clubs across Europe. It is understood that Liverpool and Bayern Munich for Zakaria are interested in and a Club should be prepared to take at least 50 million Euro in the Hand, then it could well be that Denis Zakaria Mönchengladbach leaves in the coming summer.
Also Dortmund was interested
last summer, rumor has it, even Borussia Dortmund said to be interested. Because Zakarias contract in Gladbach but by 2022, and because of sporting Director Max Eberl knows since the sale of Granit Xhaka in 2016 for an estimated 45 million euros to the Arsenal FC, the amount of appropriate transfer fees, you have not given away your jewel ahead of ourselves. So it is that Zakaria this Wednesday (20.45 hours), and continues to play in Gladbach Jersey in the second-round Cup hit in Dortmund. “It is clear that we want to win,” he said as casually as self-aware. Gladbach is in the League leaders, Dortmund is on the rocks a bit. It should be exciting.

Zakarias full Name is Denis Lemi Zakaria Lako Lado, and only from these 24 characters, the African roots of the footballer emerge. In November 1996, he was the son of a Congo, and a Sudanese woman born in Geneva. The parents split up later, the father returned to the democratic Republic of the Congo, the mother remained in Switzerland. So often, he visits the mother in Geneva, and the father in Kinshasa, but his football success makes both more difficult.
To the national team colleagues
With Gladbach heard Zakaria is represented in all competitions, also in the Swiss national team, he plays a supporting role. Here he is, together with Xhaka in the body of the team, side-by-side with the player that had him making his way from Switzerland to Gladbach on. 2012 Xhaka from FC Basel was switched to Gladbach and 2016 to London. Such a career also appeared Zakaria sexy, and if he should have doubted in 2017, if he should really switch to the lower Rhine, the mönchengladbach-based Swiss Yann Sommer and Nico Elvedi have dispelled these doubts.
you have rates Zakaria, and now play with a Goalie summer, a Central defender Elvedi, midfielder Zakaria and the striker Breel Embolo, four Swiss national player for Borussia. Embolo in the next few weeks, however, he suffered on Sunday in the 4:2 against Frankfurt, according to club information, a “small muscle tear”. In the Cup defender Tony Jantschke (strain) is missing also.
One of the most Promising – and more expensive than Xhaka?
Zakaria is one of the most hardworking players in the League, he runs around seven miles per game. But in the case of the obtained two fight (57 percent) of his pass completion rate (88 percent), and possession of the ball actions brackets are still improvements possible. However, In the combination of won balls, fast switching, and even his own scoring chances (eight goals and four assists in 70 Bundesliga games), he is, especially at just 22, one of the most impressive Midfielders in the League.

Already in the school, Running was his favorite discipline, he reveals, and what coach is the quick defensive return offensively strong midfield after ball loss. For Zakaria is a Prime example. He is, according to the Motions very quickly in the back and sprints regularly, the fastest striker in the League. With 35 km/h he was caught speeding on the course. Despite his strong helper syndrome – also for the colleagues in the defence-back four – is Zakaria an elegant and careful player, not a bully like once Xhaka. And as of now appears almost certain that Zakaria, whether it is 2020 or 2021, mönchengladbach is the most expensive sale of the club history. You will be calling for him to get more and more than EUR 45 million for Xhaka 2016.
