Bryan Zaragoza has had a difficult time at Säbener Straße so far. The winger has not played a role under Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel so far. Even though the German record champions‘ coach previously denied that he had a bad relationship with the Spaniard, Zaragoza himself probably sees things differently.
According to BILD, the relationship between Bryan Zaragoza and Thomas Tuchel at FC Bayern is complicated. Even though the coach recently denied that he had a bad relationship with the 22-year-old, the player himself sees things differently, according to the report. According to the report, the winger is unhappy about his relationship with his coach.
One example given was that the ex-Granada player was not informed by Tuchel himself when he was not in the German record champions‘ squad. Instead, sporting director Christoph Freund had broken the news to him.
The tense situation at the club could prompt Zaragoza to flee Munich in the summer – even if Tuchel himself is known to be leaving the club by then. According to the report, a loan of Zaragoza is possible in the upcoming transfer window, but this would depend on the new coach.
Zaragoza leaving in the summer?
Tuchel recently said the following about his relationship with the winger: „I would say with a certain immodesty that I was not uninvolved in the decision to sign him for Bayern in the first place. You can’t do that without a relationship and you can’t do it without discussions. I was there with Christoph Freund for the last and decisive talks in Munich.“
The German record champions had signed Zaragoza prematurely in the winter, after the 22-year-old was initially only due to arrive at Säbener Straße in the summer. However, the transfer was finalised ahead of schedule when attacking star Kingsley Coman tore his ankle ligaments. Since then, the Spaniard has not been given a chance under Thomas Tuchel. Although he feels very comfortable with the team and the city, he currently has no prospects as a player.
This led to Zaragoza not even being in the squad for Darmstadt a fortnight ago. Against Dortmund last weekend, he was on the bench for the entire match.
According to BILD, the main reason for this is the Spaniard’s language barrier, as he can speak neither German nor English.
