I'm not against Zakaria. I haven't seen enough of him to form a proper opinion. He reminds me of Momo Sissoko in his physique and running style.
If he wanted to use us as a stepping stone to Barca it maybe isn't so bad as long as he is good enough. I'd far rather have a player who is driven and motivated to impress, than someone like Rabiot or Ramsey who is on a big wage and seems like they can't be bothered putting effort in. The only thing that would worry me is the last player I can remember saying something similar was Isla.
However, this squad badly needs another midfielder who can get on the ball, pass it and control tempo. Locatelli is the only one capable of it and we saw against Inter how much we struggled when we couldn't get the ball to him. From what I have read Zakaria wouldn't give us that.

Rabiot doesn’t play less. Ramsey and Arthur are always injured. They didn’t come here to be backups. Kulu was a prospect who wasn’t getting paid much. Also, Tici is a moron.
Witsel makes more than Locatelli right now and not much less than Rabiot/Ramsey. What kind of pay bump are Juve actually going to give him? Hopefully Bini/Arrivabene arent also morons.

Rabiot was undisputed starter at PSG before that last season when they forced him to sit out or he sat out, whatever happened. And while Matuidi and Khedira were healthy here both him and Ramsey were backups or playing out of position in Ramsey's case.
You pay players more to entice them to come. It rarely every happens that a new player earns less than at his previous club unless he's at the tail end of his career or his current club is looking to get rid of him as is the case with Rabiot and Ramsey here now.
I hope he doesn't come. Zakaria would be just fine for January.
