Well, it’s settled. Bryan Zaragoza is leaving Bayern Munich.
The 23-year-old came from Granada in 2024, where he had been since 2019. In his last two seasons there, he had shown much promise, and emerged not just a key player in their promotion, but also a player with massive potential. He was particularly known for a terrific performance against FC Barcelona in 2023, which gained him attention from several clubs.
However, he had a terrible time in Germany from the get-go. Reportedly, he never tried
to learn German or English, and had little to no interest in integrating into Munich or the club. He also received very little playing time, and was further loaned to Osasuna.
For the longest time, a move away was hampered by clubs unwilling to accept Bayern’s terms. Villarreal, Real Betis, Sevilla, among several other clubs, were eager to pick up the winger. However, it was reported that Celta Vigo finally accepted Bayern’s conditions for a loan with an option to buy.
Now, according to Bild journalist Nicolas Linner (via @iMiaSanMia), the path back to Spain for Zaragoza is set — the youngster has decided to join Celta. The negotiations too are currently in the final stages and Celta will provide a part of the player’s pay.

This move is probably for the best for both parties — Bayern get to offload a player whom they don’t see as a part of their future plans and Zaragoza gets an environment he might be more comfortable with.
