Barcelona plotted an exchange deal to sign the 22-year-old newly settled Spain international
Barcelona is prepared to pay €15 million in addition to a player on loan to get Bryan Zaragoza, a 22-year-old Spanish international making his debut.
Barcelona is reportedly interested in Bryan Zaragoza, according to a report by the Spanish publication Fichajes. Looking for wide attackers, the defending La Liga champions are searching the market. And to sign the recently-debuting Spanish international, they are prepared to offer €15 million in addition to a player on loan.
Bryan Zaragoza joined Granada CF from Conejito Malaga in 2019, and since then, he has advanced greatly. The 22-year-old was unnoticed during his young career and did not light up the stage in his early years. To make his Andalusian club debut in November 2021, he had to wait till after turning 20.
However, since entering the first team and improving over the past two years, the Spaniard has not looked back. With five goals and one assist in their first nine La Liga games of the 2023–24 season, Zaragoza has become well-known.
The youthful winger received his first call-up to the national team thanks to his performances for Granada. Zaragoza also earned his debut for Spain during this month’s international break by starting against Scotland as a substitute. However, the player’s development has not gone unnoticed, drawing interest from several prestigious teams, including Barcelona.
The summer transfer window of 2024 is when the Blaugrana will probably search the market for a wide attacker. Ferran Torres’ future at the Catalan team is questionable, and if things do not get better for him, he will probably depart Barcelona the next season. Barcelona’s ability to finalize a long-term agreement with Joao Felix is also uncertain given their ongoing financial difficulties.
Thus, Barcelona has been keeping an eye on several wide attackers, including Estevao, with the Blaugranas hoping to sign a young player who can support Vitor Roque and Lamine Yamal in the final third. Bryan Zaragoza is another possible target, as Barcelona is prepared to extend an offer to Granada in part exchange. To entice the Andalusian club, they are prepared to pay €15 million in addition to a player on loan.
According to the rumor, Barcelona is planning to make Pablo Torre or Julian Araujo available for hire. This strategy was already utilized by the Catalan giants to sign Oriol Romeu, and Torre is now on loan at Girona. In light of this, it will be intriguing to watch if they are successful in signing Bryan Zaragoza, who has also come to Real Madrid’s attention.
