Barcelona plot surprise move for Bayern Munich outcast with forward desperate to leave Vincent Kompany's side this summer

Club Friendlies

Vissel Kobe

Barcelona

<p>Barca are considering a summer swoop for Bayern winger Bryan Zaragoza, who is eager to leave after a frustrating spell under coach Vincent Kompany. According to the Spanish TV program <a href="https://sportbild.bild.de/fussball/fc-bayern-muenchen/bericht-aus-spanien-fc-barcelona-heiss-auf-bayern-star-6874baddda1c145b0bf05629" target="_blank"><em>El Chiringuito, </em></a>Barca have reportedly contacted the player’s entourage and are weighing up a formal approach as they seek reinforcements out wide.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>After missing out on top target Nico Williams, who extended his contract with Athletic Club, Barcelona have turned to cheaper, more feasible alternatives. Zaragoza, with his €12m (£10m) valuation and La Liga experience, fits their budget. Barca also hold interest in Luis Diaz and Marcus Rashford, but both are far more expensive targets. Zaragoza is reportedly enthusiastic about joining Barca, even if it means playing second fiddle to Lamine Yamal and Raphinha. His friendships within the squad and past standout performances against Barcelona have only fuelled mutual interest.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>The 23-year-old scored twice against Barca in a 2-2 draw with Granada in October 2023, and followed that up with a goal and assist for Osasuna in their 4-2 win over the Catalans in September 2024. His direct style and low centre of gravity (1.64m) make him a known threat to the Blaugrana backline.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Barcelona’s financial limitations make Zaragoza an attractive, affordable option to bolster squad depth. With Bayern open to recovering most of the €13m (£11.2m) they paid Granada just months ago, a deal could progress quickly, especially with other suitors like Real Betis and Olympiacos also circling. Barca may now decide between short-term practicality or pushing again for high-profile names.</p>
