# Manchester City: Fans beg for Denis Zakaria signing after recent update

**According to an update by Bild journalist [Christian Falk](https://twitter.com/cfbayern/status/1322212379111923713), Man City are preparing an offer in the region of £36.1 million for Borussia Mönchengladbach midfielder Denis Zakaria next summer – with Sky Blue supporters going on to swoon over the update on Twitter.**

Zakaria, who started 22 Bundesliga games last season, making 2.1 tackles per 90 in that time ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/252419/History/Denis-Zakaria)), is now at the centre of sporting director Txiki Begiristain’s interest according to Falk – with City weighing up a summer swoop.

The robust midfielder, likened to Sky Blues[cult hero Yaya Toure](https://twitter.com/alex5mukucha/status/1322225890881843206?s=21) by some supporters, is also being tipped by a few fans as the [ideal heir to Fernandinho](https://twitter.com/yugee_bro/status/1322229578509803525?s=21) in the middle of the park – going on to beg Begiristain for his signature.

At just 23-years-old, he has already garnered [28 caps for Switzerland](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/denis-zakaria/profil/spieler/334526) at international level – with the youngster possessing bags of potential at just £36.1m.

As a result, these City supporters are keen to see him at the Etihad – find all of their best verdicts down below.
