This summer, he was sent out on loan to Gremio, but [Juventus](https://technosports.co.in/2022/01/30/denis-zakaria-to-sign-for-juventus/) are now loaning him out to the MLS side ahead of the expiry of his contract. 

He has played for Bayern Munich in Germany and for Juventus for a couple of seasons, but ended up losing his spot in the first team. The winger constantly battled injuries which hindered his ability to earn regular playing time on the pitch.
