Roma Closing In on Loan for Bayern’s Bryan Zaragoza With €13m Option

Overview

• Roma have submitted a formal proposal and are in advanced talks with Bayern Munich for a short loan to June that includes a purchase option, according to multiple reports.
• Reports describe a package with a loan fee of about €2m and an option around €13–13.5m, with separate reporting that Roma paid Celta roughly €3m to terminate the existing loan.
• Sport Bild reports the option would turn into an obligation if Zaragoza plays at least 50% of the remaining minutes and Roma qualify for next season’s Europa League.
• Celta coach Claudio Giráldez confirmed he left Zaragoza out of the squad due to an ongoing process over the player’s future and concerns about his readiness to play.
• Zaragoza has agreed personal terms with Roma and would be the club’s third attacking addition of the window after Donyell Malen and Robinio Vaz.
