At 25-years-old, Zakaria is entering his prime and stands at 1.91 meters (6 feet, 2 inches), which puts him at a good size to transition into Bayern Munich’s lineup at either position
Also, Zakaria is a target for Manchester United as Ralf Rangnick searches for a new central midfield to boost his squad, with the Swiss international having starred in the Bundesliga.
Zakaria has become one of the best midfielders in the Bundesliga since joining Gladbach in 2017 from Swiss Super League giants Young Boys and is a regular starter for Adi Hutter’s side.
His contract expires in the summer but Eberl has admitted that Zakaria is free to depart this month.
“There’s nothing on my desk,” the Gladbach sporting director told Kicker
“It’s not surprising that there is speculation about Denis, but it’s no longer our topic.
“He still have a half year of contract. But we have also said again and again that if something comes up that we have to deal with for financial reasons.
Zakaria is a free agent at the end of the season and Gladbach might be looking to get something for the midfielder rather than risk losing him for free in July:
