The 24-year-old Swiss midfielder who plays in the Bundesliga for Borussia Monchengladbach has been in a rich vein of form lately and looking to make the most of it by penning down a deal with the European Giants.
He has been impressive in the 9 outings for his German club netting twice and assisting once in the Bundesliga.
Manchester City seems to be the front runner and will be aware of the fact that Fernandinho has got his days numbered at the club and Zakaria would be an inch-perfect replacement accompanying the likes of Rodri, Bernardo Silva, and KDB in the midfield.
However, the deal is looking unfeasible at this point of time with the player expressing concerns over a potential Premier League switch and opting for Bayer Munich instead.
