Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Denis Zakaria opened up about the transfer rumors linking him to a move away from the club.

He said: “I’ve read a lot, but it’s a lot of talk. It’s just rumors”.

“I’m 100 per cent with Borussia Monchengladbach and I didn’t think of other clubs during my break.”

Denis Zakaria is currently sidelined with a long term knee injury which has kept him out of action since March.

While he is out of action, he is being linked with an exit for Gladbach in the upcoming transfer windows.

European giants Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Chelsea are interested in his signature.

According to Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, City are said to prefer Zakaria to AC Milan’s Ismael Bennacer. They are already in contact with his agent over a potential transfer.

Denis Zakaria is contracted to Borussia Mönchengladbach till the summer of 2022.
