Premier league giants to sign Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder

Manchester City are purportedly monitoring Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Denis Zakaria, who they see as the ideal replacement for Fernandinho this summer.

Fernandinho, 35, is out of contract toward the end of this season and is set to leave the Etihad Stadium despite the fact that Pep Guardiola has recommended that an extension might be conceivable.

In any case, as indicated by the Manchester Evening News, Manchester City are now taking a look at potential replacements for the Brazilian with Zakaria one player who they are observing.

The 24-year-old has persevered through a difficult season with Gladbach this season, who at present sit 10th in the Bundesliga table, and this could make the possibility of joining Manchester City considerably really engaging.

Gladbach are accepted to value the Switzerland international at around £40m, which is a figure Manchester City would be set to pay.

The 24-year-old, who has under year and a half left on his present contract, has made many appearances for the German club so far this season, scoring once in a 2-2 draw against Stuttgart in January.
