Roma planning to get hold of Zakaria

Roma are fourth in Serie A after seven games. Mou's men have 15 points. Ahead of them they have Inter with 17, AC Milan with 19 and Napoli are top with 21. 

But Roma are going after more. They think they can fight with those up top and in order to do that, they need to make improvements to certain areas of their squad. 

Mourinho is trying like crazy to get hold of Denis Zakaria a Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder. According to 'Sky Sport', he is not thinking of waiting until next summer: he will try and get him in January. 

Roma's plan, according to this media outlet, is to persuade the Germans by guaranteeing them a percentage over a future sale. 

Zakaria's contract at Gladbach ends in June 2022, so the club are facing their last opportunity to cash in on his signing. That is what Roma want to take advantage of.
