Overview

• Bayern has declared Bryan Zaragoza surplus after just seven first-team appearances since his February 2024 arrival and opened formal transfer talks today.
• Olympiakos’s proposed package of a €2m loan fee plus a €7m purchase obligation was turned down as Bayern holds out for a valuation closer to €12m.
• Sporting director Max Eberl is aiming to recoup part of the €18m total investment before finalizing any deal to free up funds for incoming signings.
• Spanish sides Real Betis and Celta Vigo are pressing their interest, aligning with Zaragoza’s preference to return to La Liga.
• With Zaragoza under contract until 2029, Bayern can afford to wait for the right offer but faces the risk of his market value slipping if negotiations drag on.
