Manchester City fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays a report of the club’s interest in Borussia Monchengladbach defensive midfielder Denis Zakaria.
The 23-year-old has impressed in his three seasons in the Bundesliga with Gladbach which have caught the eye of several of the top six and is also a regular for the Switzerland national side.
He has long been reportedly touted as a target for Premier League champions Liverpool, while Manchester United and Manchester City have more recently been linked.
German outlet Sport Bild claim City are ‘preparing’ an offer worth €40m for the defensive midfielder.
“It’s true, according to our information they have prepared an offer for him,” Bild journalist Christian Falk said when asked about the report.
“Gladbach also already know that is something that could come, and it will be difficult to extend his contract.
“It really depends on how much Manchester City put on the table. Gladbach paid €12m, and one hears from England that City would easily triple that.
“We wait and see how high it is and then decide how hard it will be to reject by email.”
