Barcelona Manager Xavi Confirms they Preparing £50m for 22 year old Bayern Munich Star who wants to leave club this summer due to lack of play time
One of Barcelona’s main goals for the summer transfer window is to add natural wingers to their left side to make it stronger.
The Blaugrana are actively looking for a true winger to add to their choices on the left side. Players like Ferran Torres, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal would rather play on the right, and even Joao Felix, if signed permanently, doesn’t fit the mould of a traditional wide player.
Nico Williams signed a new deal with Athletic Club in December that includes a big €50 million release clause, but Barcelona is still keeping an eye on him as a possible target.
In addition, they are looking into “low-cost” choices, and Bryan Zaragoza of Bayern Munich is one of them.
A striker named Zaragoza, who is 22 years old, moved from Granada to Bayern Munich in January 2009.
His move to Germany has been hard, mostly because of the language problem, which has limited his playing time. Since they joined Bayern, Zaragoza has only played 35 minutes of football.
Bayern Munich is going to hire a new boss to replace Thomas Tuchel at the end of the season, so Zaragoza’s future at the club is still uncertain.
Barcelona could look into the chance of a loan move for the Spanish player if the new coach doesn’t see Zaragoza as a realistic option.
Zaragoza was in good shape in La Liga before he moved to Bayern. He scored six goals and set up two others in 21 league games for Granada this season.
Based on how well he played in Spain before, Zaragoza could give Barcelona a good loan choice if they decide to go with this route.
In the end, Barcelona’s choice about Zaragoza will rest on who is hired as manager at Bayern Munich and whether the new coach sees the winger as an important part of their future plans.
Barcelona could use Zaragoza’s skill and experience in La Liga to improve their left side for the next season if he becomes available for a loan move.
