Bayern Munich defend signing of Spanish international winger – 'I don't think it was a mistake'

It is safe to say that Bryan Zaragoza had a very difficult start to life at Bayern Munich. The Bavarian giants signed the 22-year-old from Granada in January after initially agreeing a summer deal, but despite his early arrival, he has barely played.

In total, Zaragoza has played around 55 minutes since arriving at Bayern during the winter, despite being readily available throughout. It meant he lost his place in the Spanish national team, and will almost certainly miss Euro 2024.

The adaptation of Zaragoza to Bayern has been publicly addressed by coach Thomas Tuchel, but despite this, they are happy with his signing, as stated by sporting director Christoph Freund. MD.

“I don't think it was a mistake to sign him. In the last two or three weeks, there has been a clear upward trend in his adaptation. Of course, from the outside it doesn't seem like that.”

“It became more and more popular. I also thought it was good that it came in the winter and not in the summer.

Zaragoza will be hoping for better luck at Bayern next season, and will surely be aiming for a return to the Spain installed at that time.
