Barcelona is expected to pursue cost-effective options during the upcoming summer transfer window, with a focus on securing players through free transfers or loan deals. This approach has proven fruitful in the past, as evidenced by the temporary acquisitions of Joao Felix and Joao Cancelo earlier in the season. Exploiting opportunities where players are surplus to requirements at their respective clubs, Barcelona has managed to bolster their squad at minimal expense.
One position of particular interest for Barcelona is the left-winger role, identified as a priority by Sporting Director Deco. Among the candidates being considered for this position is Bryan Zaragoza, a winger currently playing for Bayern Munich. Zaragoza, aged 22, joined Bayern during the January transfer window from Granada for a fee of €17 million. However, his integration into the team has been challenging, with limited playing time and reported difficulties in adapting to the language under manager Thomas Tuchel.
Despite Zaragoza’s struggles at Bayern, Deco sees potential in the player and is exploring the possibility of securing a loan deal for him during the upcoming summer transfer window. It’s worth noting that Zaragoza was previously linked with Barcelona before his move to Bayern.
The willingness of Bayern Munich to part with Zaragoza remains uncertain. Changes within the club, including the appointment of a new manager and sporting director, may influence their decision. As of now, there has been no indication from Germany regarding Zaragoza’s potential departure from Bavaria during the summer transfer window.
