Zakaria has become surplus to requirements at Juventus and the club are open to offers to move him on in the ongoing transfer window.
The Swiss midfielder has been training away from the rest of the first-team squad and will not be travelling to the United States for Juventus’ pre-season tour.
West Ham have been in talks with Juventus to sign him but the two clubs are yet to reach an agreement over the structure of the deal.
The Hammers are unwilling to include an obligation to buy in a loan deal, which Juventus are insisting on and according to Italian daily Gazzetta dello Sport, they could now face Premier League competition for his signature.
Aston Villa have made an enquiry into the possibility of signing the Juventus midfielder this summer.
Unai Emery wants more midfield reinforcements and Zakaria is a player the Villans are considering.
Clubs from Germany have also made enquiries for the former Borussia Monchengladbach star this summer.
It remains to be seen whether Aston Villa’s enquiry develops into a concrete offer for Zakaria as West Ham continue to haggle with Juventus.
