Bayern Munich star set to join Spanish club

Bayern Munich's Bryan Zaragoza (24) is set to join Espanyol Barcelona on loan. The clubs have agreed on a one-year loan deal.

What's happening?

The 24-year-old winger will play for Espanyol Barcelona for a year. The loan is a significant step for Zaragoza, who has a contract with Bayern until 2029.

Why is this important for Bayern Munich?

The transfer is a good news for the German record champions. The coach Vincent Kompany (40) does not want the player in his plans.

What comes next?

Zaragoza will play for Espanyol Barcelona in the upcoming season. The player had set a return to his homeland as a goal in the background.

Bryan Zaragoza: A multiple loan player

For Zaragoza, it's already the fourth loan in a row. Already half a year after his transfer from FC Granada to the Säbener Straße, he was sent on loan to Spanish club Osasuna. In the summer of 2025, he followed another Spanish loan to Celta Vigo, which was however already broken off in early 2026 because AS Rom had lured him with a loan including a buy option.

Current situation

The three-time Spanish national player is fit again and ready for his new adventure at Espanyol Barcelona, where he will stay permanently after a one-year loan.

Remaining at Bayern Munich

For FC Bayern, the deal is a good news. The German record champions want to send the Spanish winger to Celta Vigo and AS Rom again this summer, as he is not in the plans of coach Vincent Kompany (40).
