Barcelona are reportedly eyeing up a loan move for Bayern Munich winger, Bryan Zaragoza in the summer transfer window.
The Catalan club have been linked to several forwards ahead of the summer window, with Athletic Bilbao winger, Nico Williams being seriously touted. But the €50 million release clause placed on the Spaniard is seen as way too high for the Blaugrana.
According to SPORT as cited by Barca Universal, Zaragoza is one of the potential ‘low cost’ options that Barcelona are keeping an eye on.
The 22-year-old winger has struggled in Germany thus far after joining the Bavarian giants from Granada during the January transfer window.
Zaragoza has encountered significant challenges in adjusting to his new environment, chief among them being the language barrier. He has only played 35 minutes of football as a result since moving in the winter.
After the season, Bayern will appoint a new manager to succeed Thomas Tuchel. However, Barca would think about signing the winger on loan if the new head coach does not think highly of him.
Before joining Bayern, Zaragoza performed well in La Liga. In 21 league games this season, he scored six goals and provided two assists for Granada.

If Barcelona decide to take a closer look at that option, the Spanish international could prove to be a useful loan option.
A lot will depend on Tuchel’s successor at Bayern and whether or not the potential manager will count on Zaragoza or not.
