Alaves has set its sights on signing Bryan Zaragoza, the 24‑year‑old Bayern winger looking for continuity in Spain this summer. The Vitoria‑based club, led by Eduardo Coudet, sees the player as essential to strengthen the right flank and fill the offensive gap.

What sparked the race for Zaragoza?

The Malagueño forward joined Bayern in January 2024 for €13 million and is tied down until 2029. Yet the German side does not count him in its plans and prefers a departure that recoups part of the outlay. Sevilla FC also shows interest, while RCD Espanyol only explored the option without moving forward. No formal bid has been made, leaving negotiations open as Bayern lets the market run for the next two months.

Why does Zaragoza matter to Alaves?

Alaves sits 14th in LaLiga with 43 points, 11 wins, 10 draws and 17 losses from 38 games, and its most recent result was a 1‑2 defeat to Rayo Vallecano on 23 May 2026. With 44 goals scored and 56 conceded, the team needs a winger who can add pace and firepower. Coudet has said a second winger is required for his system, and Zaragoza’s speed and dribbling fit that need perfectly.

What are the options for Zaragoza?

The player has been loaned to Osasuna, Celta de Vigo and Roma without settling. His market value now sits around €8 million, according to Transfermarkt. Bayern is weighing both a loan and a permanent transfer; the decision will hinge on Alaves’ offer and the guarantee of regular minutes the club can provide. A contract until 2029 gives the player security as he seeks playing time to stay in Spain’s national team picture.

What could happen in the upcoming market?

If Alaves seals the deal, the club will gain a winger with Bundesliga and Serie A experience, potentially boosting its attack and moving it away from the relegation zone. Sevilla, meanwhile, continues to hunt attacking reinforcements, keeping the competition alive. Bayern, unhurried, will watch how the offer evolves before making a final call.

Zaragoza’s future will shape the battle for wingers in LaLiga this summer; Alaves and Sevilla will set their strategies while Bayern waits for the best exit route.
