Barcelona takes a fancy to Zaragoza: Low cost alternative to Diaz and Leo

Let's look at Barcelona's signings at the winger position. When the top and very expensive goals, such as Louis Diaz, are difficult to achieve due to financial problems, they began to look for some cost-effective and more operational Plan B. Spanish winger Brian Zaragoza, who currently plays for Bayern Munich, is such a very logical candidate.

Let's analyze the player Zaragoza. When he transferred from Granada to Bayern, he was given high expectations, but he did not quickly gain a foothold in a top giant like Bayern. This situation is actually very common. There are many complex factors in whether a player can adapt to a new league and a new tactical system. But the key is that last season, when he returned to La Liga on loan, he immediately regained his form and scored 7 goals in one season, performing very well.

This illustrates two problems. First, Zaragoza's ability is completely free. He has the ability to become an efficient attacker in a league of La Liga. Second and most importantly, he is very familiar with and adapted to the La Liga game environment. After he comes, he does not need any adaptation period and can achieve "plug and play".

So, for Barcelona, introducing Zaragoza is a very pragmatic choice. His transfer fee will not be too high, and he is very familiar with La Liga, and the risk of signing is very low. He can serve as a very powerful complement and rotation player on the team's wings to share the pressure for Yamal and Rafinia. We saw that the player himself also liked rumors about his transfer to Barcelona on social media, which shows that he also has a very positive attitude towards this potential deal.
