Roma approach Juventus for Zakaria – report

Roma have reportedly opened talks with Juventus to explore a move for midfielder Denis Zakaria.

The Giallorossi have been forced back onto the transfer market to find a midfield reinforcement following the recent leg break suffered by new arrival Georginio Wijnaldum, who’ll now be kept out of action until 2023. Roma are considering a number of options but will have to make their mind up soon as the transfer market starts to draw to a close.

As reported by SportMediaset, Roma have approached Juventus to inquire about a possible move for Zakaria, who didn’t seem the most convincing under Massimiliano Allegri last campaign. 

The Giallorossi are interested in signing the 25-year-old Swiss midfielder on loan and they’re expected to make a final decision at some point in the coming days, with only a week left in the transfer window.

Zakaria has made 14 appearances across all competitions for Juventus following his arrival from Borussia Monchengladbach in January.
