As of today, Bayern Munich have confirmed that Bryan Zaragoza has joined CA Osasuna on loan until the end of the season.
It had previously been reported that both FC Girona and Valencia were looking to lure the winger back to La Liga, with Los Ches leading the race to sign the 22-year-old.
Nevertheless, Osasuna acted quickly in order to hijack the deal, offering to pay Der Rekordmeister a €250,000 loan fee while also covering a large proportion of Zaragoza’s salary.
This ensured they beat Valencia to Zaragoza’s signature, and Osasuna will be hoping for the winger to replicate his stellar form previously shown during his time at Granada.
Nevertheless, there will be no option for the Spanish side to purchase the 22-year-old at the end of the campaign, with Bayern hoping to see Zaragoza return to the club in the summer before looking to integrate him into the first team for the 2025–26 campaign.
Speaking on Zaragoza’s loan move, Bayern’s sporting director Christoph Freund commented:
“Bryan’s focus remains on the clear objective of taking on an important role at FC Bayern. He has all the qualities for that. We’re convinced that this season in his native Spain will bring him on. He now needs a lot of games at a high, competitive level, and CA Osasuna is a very good place for him to get that.”
