Serie A giants Juventus are ready to offer Denis Zakaria to Chelsea this summer but only if Mateo Kovacic is included in the deal, according to recent reports.
Zakaria is currently on loan at Stamford Bridge, enjoying some solid performances in recent times following a slow start in west London. Calcio Mercato Web have now claimed that Juventus are willing to part ways with the Swiss international on a permanent basis this summer but they would like Kovacic in return.
That deal seems an unlikely one considering Kovacic is one of the first names on Graham Potter's teamsheet when fully fit, with his rare combination of progressive passing and press-resistant dribbling a huge asset to the former Brighton boss. Potter has also made it no secret of his admiration for Zakaria, previously lauding the 26-year-old's professionalism and work ethic.
