Chelsea are reportedly undecided about whether to sign Denis Zakaria from Juventus in the summer.
Zakaria, 26, is a talented midfielder that moved to Stamford Bridge for this campaign on a season-long loan.
The Switzerland international has made just seven Blues appearances so far, but he’s looked quite impressive as a physical presence in the centre of the park.
Incidentally, he’s missed some games recently with a hamstring injury, but was back on the bench during the midweek Champions League defeat against Borussia Dortmund.
Denis Zakaria future
According to The Evening Standard, Chelsea are yet to make a final decision on Zakaria’s future.
It is understood that they have a £27million option to buy him in the summer, but are still weighing up their options in the central midfield position.
The report adds that Juventus have decided they’ll be selling Zakaria at the end of the season regardless of Chelsea’s decision.
They are hopeful that there may be some Premier League interest in him and teams may pay close to his £27million clause.
Described as “unbelievable” by Mason Mount, Zakaria looks like he could be really good value for money at around £26million.
If he can play regularly and show his quality during the second half of the season, Chelsea should really consider turning his loan move into a permanent one.
It would be great to see what a midfield pivot looks like of him and Enzo Fernandez looks like in upcoming games.
In our view, there will be plenty of Premier League suitors for Zakaria he’s free to move elsewhere in the summer.
