Bayern Munich are looking to trim their bloated squad. Along with permanent departures, Bayern are also looking to facilitate loan deals for players who will not play regularly in Munich next season.
Among the several names is Bryan Zaragoza, who could be one of the high-profile loan departures at Bayern.
According to media reports in Germany, Bayern chiefs have told Zaragoza that a loan move will benefit him since he is unlikely to get adequate playing time in Munich.
Valencia and Girona are interested in signing Zaragoza. The Spaniard will leave Bayern on a loan deal without an option to buy.
Zaragoza endured a difficult time at Bayern after completing a move to Bavaria in January. The Spaniard was set to join in the summer, but a serious injury to Kingsley Coman forced the Bavarians hands to bring forward his signing by six months.
The Spaniard struggled to get game time under Thomas Tuchel. The German coach believed Zaragoza needed time to get used to the new club and Bundesliga.
He hardly featured for Bayern in his first six months at the club. Zaragoza underwent intense training over the summer to be prepared for the new season at Bayern, but it looks like he may have to play elsewhere next season.
Bayern have strengthened their attack this summer by signing Michael Olise from Crystal Palace.
With no winger leaving Bayern until now, there was significant competition for Zaragoza to get adequate playing time. Moreover, Bayern are also working on a deal to sign Désiré Doué from Rennes.
Since the Bavarians are only considering a dry loan for Zaragoza, there is slim hope for the Spaniard to have a long-term future at the club.
In an ideal scenario, Zaragoza goes out on loan to a Bundesliga club instead of moving to Spain. The Spaniard will get used to the nature of football in Germany by spending time on loan at a Bundesliga club.
Zaragoza was thrilled to join Bayern in January, but the transfer has not gone as planned for him. The Spaniard can certainly get back into the club’s long-term plans with the help of a productive loan spell.
