Brian Zaragoza could leave again – on loan?

Bayern Munich is the most successful club in Germany. In our newsfeed you will find all the important news about Standard Heroes.

In the winter, Bayern Munich signed Brian Zaragoza from Granada early. He was originally supposed to move to Munich in July, but came to the club early due to Kingsley Coman tearing his medial ligament. Now Zaragoza could leave again in the summer.

As reported by Sky and Bild TV, a loan for the winger is on the cards. Accordingly, Spain's Rayo Vallecano in particular are monitoring Zaragoza and could imagine a one-year loan. According to the Spanish daily newspaper Sport, Barcelona is also interested. But there is no offer yet.

Zaragoza does not play any role under the leadership of coach Thomas Tuchel. He feels comfortable in the team and in the city. However, he has not yet been able to prove himself athletically. Tuchel left him out of the squad for the Darmstadt away match two weeks ago, and in Dortmund he remained only on the bench. The main reason is the language barrier. Zaragoza speaks neither German nor English.

Manuel Neuer will have to wait until he can return to team training at Bayern Munich. According to Bild and Sky, the 38-year-old ran laps on the training field away from the team on Wednesday. Neuer tore his adductor muscle while playing for the national team and therefore missed Saturday's classic Bundesliga match against Borussia Dortmund (0-2).

Bayern Munich will take on surprise newcomer Heidenheim on Saturday (starting at 3:30pm live online). But Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final first leg (from 9pm live online) at Arsenal is far more important. To be able to play in London, Neuer will not take any risks against Heidenheim. He was represented by Sven Ulreich in defeating BVB.

Like Neuer, Leroy Sane and Kingsley Coman also ran laps on Wednesday. As reported by Abendzeitung, unlike Neuer, the wingers were used against Dortmund.

Without Manuel Neuer, who is still injured, Bayern Munich began preparing for the first leg against Heidenheim on Saturday.

After two days of rest, coach Thomas Tuchel gathered Munich's professional footballers back on the pitch for a general session. National goalkeeper Neuer was still absent from team training, but he recently began working individually. The 38-year-old tore muscle fibers in his adductor muscle while playing for the national team and therefore missed Saturday's classic Bundesliga match against Borussia Dortmund (0-2).

Leroy Sane left the field early. Full-back Nassir Mazraoui will be absent due to illness.

Bayern's Treble coach Hansi Flick could envisage a renewed commitment to FC Bayern Munich. This is what was reported by Kicker. Accordingly, the name of the former national coach is under discussion by Munich presidents, but he is not considered one of the most prominent candidates to succeed Tuchel, according to the trade magazine.

Flick led Bayern to win the championship, the German Cup and the Champions League in 2020. According to the report, Julian Nagelsmann and Ralf Rangnick have better chances for the coaching job at Sabiner Straße.

Xabi Alonso will remain coach of Bayer Leverkusen. The Spaniard announced this on Good Friday. “I'm in the right place,” the 42-year-old said. He therefore decided against Bayern Munich and Liverpool, both of whom included him in their roster. As reported by the Foot Mercato portal, Real Madrid are said to have played a role as well.
