Dortmund runs for cover: Ziyech and Zakaria the goals for January

Not very exciting season. Thanks to the others (Bayern), but also due to their own demerit. Borussia Dortmund wants to run for cover. After relegation to the Europa League and being already at -9 from the top, the gialloneri want to structure themselves better in view of the second half of the season. For this reason, the club is seriously considering the purchase of two players: Hakim Ziyech, who plays little at Chelsea, and Denis Zakaria, who, due to the expiry date, Gladbach wants to sell so as not to lose him at 0 at the end of the season.

The situation

–

As for Ziyech, who totaled just over 1000 minutes in 18 appearances this season (out of the 27 matches played by Chelsea), the idea is to borrow him with the right to redeem. The Moroccan, however, earns over 10 million gross a year, which is why the Gialloneri would like to be helped by the Blues to pay him the salary for the first 6 months. Zakaria instead wishes to go to the Premier League, but, in the absence of convincing offers, he could also accept the transfer to Dortmund where he would find mister Rose (with whom he worked at Gladbach). To catch him and reinforce the midfield you need at least 8 million. Not much, considering that less than a year ago the Moenchengladbach valued it around 30. It may be the right shot to give some electricity in a season that, for the moment, is not very exciting.
