Bayern Munich’s Bryan Zaragoza personally turned down Jose Mourinho in phone call | OneFootball

Kicker reports that Bayern Munich winger Bryan Zaragoza personally nixed a chance to join Jose Mourinho at Fenerbahçe. The Spaniard’s reputation for being a difficult personality finds more confirmation. Zaragoza is thought to have played a role in a failed move to Celta Vigo earlier this summer. The 23-year-old’s Bundesliga club continues to seek a way of ending what has been a very expensive misunderstanding.

Kicker does not explicitly confirm whether Zaragoza himself had something to do with potential transfers to Celta Vigo and Real Betis that have not been realized. The German magazine simply states that Bayern wish to sell the player they once paid a combined €17m to acquire in January 2024. Other clubs  are only interested in loans.

Insofar as potential links with Bournemouth are concerned, Kicker has nothing further to add at this juncture. Kicker does claim that Fenerbahçe put a low double-digit million Euro offer on the table. Zaragoza, per Germany’s most reliable footballing publication, then goes on to note that Zaragoza personally turned down Mourinho on the phone.
