As expected, Bayern Munich winger Bryan Zaragoza has left the club for a one-year loan stint at Osasuna as announced by FCBayern.com:
FC Bayern attacker Bryan Zaragoza has joined Spanish La Liga club CA Osasuna on loan until the end of the season. The 22-year-old Spaniard joined the German record champions in January and has a contract until 30 June 2029.
Zaragoza has made seven competitive appearances to date for Bayern. He made a name for himself at Granada CF, where his impressive performances also earned him a call-up to the Spanish national team. He registered 11 goals and three assists in 58 appearances in all competitions for Granada.
Bayern Munich sporting director Christoph Freund, who brought in Zaragoza the winter transfer window last January, bid adieu to the 22-year-old.
“Bryan’s focus remains on the clear objective of taking on an important role at FC Bayern. He has all the qualities for that. We’re convinced that this season in his native Spain will bring him on. He now needs a lot of games at a high, competitive level, and CA Osasuna is a very good place for him to get that,” said Freund.
Osasuna made several versions of the announcement on its X account:
