Borussia Monchengladbach is a Bundesliga club that has been home to many talents such as Alassane Pléa, Marcus Thuram, Florian Neuhaus and Matthias Ginter. AC Milan's management is taking note of the talents that are coming through the ranks in Germany and have settled on a new profile at Borussia.
The player in question is Denis Zakaria, 24 year-old midfielder, has a contract valid until just June 2022. He is yet to renew his contract deal. Therefore, Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara have a great chance of snatching a player worth around 30 million euros for free to replace Franck Kessié in case of farewell.
AC Milan identified Zakaria as the heir of Kessié. A look at his profile:
As per Spanish outlet Fichajes.net, Denis Zakaria plays the pivot role and has the qualities of a "top player". He has good technique and physique that helped him grow in the Bundesliga. The source explains that he will be almost a perfect fit into coach Stefano Pioli's team whose Ivorian star will be leaving soon.
