Some Manchester City Fans have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays reports that claims Pep Guardiola’s side are ‘ready to challenge’ AS Roma to sign Borussia Mönchengladbach defensive midfielder, Denis Zakaria.
The 24-year-old Swiss international has already established himself as one of the finest midfielders in the Bundesliga which have caught the eye of several European clubs.
Despite having both Rodri and Fernandinho at his disposal, with the latter set to turn 37-years-old next summer, the Citizens would do well to bring in the Brazilian’s long-term successor.
According to a recent report from Italian outlet Calciomercato, the reigning Premier League champions are ‘ready to challenge’ AS Roma to sign the Borussia Mönchengladbach defensive midfielder.
The highly-rated midfielder’s contract expires in under 12-months time and rejecting the chance to join the Premier League champions would certainly be surprising.
Zakaria, who is valued at £24.3million by transfermarkt, Since joining Borussia Monchengladbach four years ago has feature in 135 matches, in all competitions, directly contributing to 19 goals, along the way.
In reaction to the report shared on Twitter by City Xtra, some Man City fans have have been expressing their thoughts and opinions.
He’s literally free and he’s be a back up Rodri he won’t play that many games. This is a steal https://t.co/jHhxzLE3Nr

I mean as a back up I wouldn’t say no

Would be a very good backup to Rodri

No point in getting Zakaria when we’ve got Rodri, plus when Ferna leaves us we’ll just develop Lavia

Gr8 backup to Rodri and would be free. Makes perfect sense👍

Lavia is unproven, Zakaria way better.
