Denis Zakaria joined Juventus in the January transfer window as the Bianconeri sought midfield reinforcements.
He had been one of the most sought-after players in the world at Borussia Monchengladbach, so Juve signed him at the right time instead of allowing him to run down his contract at the German side.
The midfielder has been an important player at the club since that time, but reports in this transfer window claimed they could sell him as they struggled to offload Adrien Rabiot and Arthur Melo.
They need a midfielder to leave before they can sign Leandro Paredes and Zakaria was tipped to be used.
As we approach the last day of the transfer window, Calciomercato reports that Max Allegri has decided to keep the Swiss midfielder.
Although the Bianconeri could still add Paredes to their squad, they believe Zakaria is an important player to hold on to.
Juve FC Says
Zakaria has not done badly since he moved to Juve and it would be unfair to offload the midfielder so early in his time at the club.
Juve needs to change its midfielder, but keeping Zakaria at the club is the absolute right thing to do, at least for another season.
zakaria cost us 2 points againts roma. so please hold on for him 1 more season
How did he cost us 2 points? Ibraham was Bremerr man to watch….I don’t think you understand how soccer works and true fans don’t just criticize their team every game. So if every player, coach…etc
Make one mistake we should get rid of accorroto you, then we won’t have 11 players at the end of the season.
@SAM fair point but I believe the point Juvemania was trying to make was not the actual goal conceded but the general form of the team dropped when he came on. You just could sense a goal was coming. To be honest I really don’t know how good the player is, but he seems struggling to adapt to Juve. Wouldn’t miss him if he was sold. I believe he’s a downgrade from Benta who at least wast great at protecting the defense. Terrible going forward, but Zakaria is not much better in building play.
