Back in February 2024, Bryan Zaragoza made the switch from Granada CF to Bayern Munich.
At the age of 22, moving to the biggest club in Germany was a big step for the winger, who never managed to establish himself with the Bavarians.
"I sat at the table and thought I was in FIFA. I saw Neuer , Kimmich... I had come from playing football in the neighbourhood," Zaragoza explained in an interview with Cadena SER.
"It was a very difficult step," he admitted.
"I'd never left my comfort zone – the language, the weather... And joining a top-level team with Musiala , Coman and Gnabry competing for your position was not easy at all."
Having featured just seven times for Bayern since then, Zaragoza has had loan spells at Osasuna , Celta Vigo , AS Roma and now Espanyol , who have an obligation to buy him for €8 million next summer if certain criteria are met.
Even if things never took off for him at Bayern, the now 25-year-old has no regrets about his decision to move there.
"I don't regret going to Bayern Munich. It was an important step," he said.
"It taught me a lot. I will never regret it."
