Monaco has officially welcomed Swiss international midfielder Denis Zakaria into their ranks, confirming his transfer from Juventus. The Ligue 1 club made the announcement on Monday.


In accordance with the information from sources close to the negotiations, it has been revealed that Zakaria, aged 26, has entered a five-year contract with Monaco. Additionally, Monaco is reported to have agreed to a transfer fee of €20 million with Juventus.


Zakaria joined Juventus in January 2022 and made 11 appearances before going on loan to Chelsea the following September.


For the London club, he made seven Premier League appearances. This will be his third time playing for Adi Huetter.


“He’s a very talented player,” the Austrian coach said on Friday. “I met him at Young Boys Bern, where he arrived when he was 18. Then I met him again at Moenchengladbach.”


“He’d be a good recruit and his style would suit Monaco perfectly.”
