Sky Sport: De Ligt's future is unclear, Kimmich is about to stay

Bayern's sporting director, Max Eberl, confirmed transfer information to Sky in Seoul.

Winger Bryan Zaragoza will likely leave FC Bayern Munich after just a few months. Bayern's sporting director, Max Eberl, confirmed this information to Sky in Seoul.

The 22-year-old Spaniard is expected to continue his development at another club due to the significant competition in Bayern’s offense.

"Bryan is a player we want to give playing time to. We are now looking for the right loan," said sporting director Max Eberl on the last day of Bayern’s South Korea tour in Seoul. The forward arrived early from FC Granada in February. The total package, including transfer and loan fees, cost Bayern around 17 million euros. Under Thomas Tuchel, the attacker only made seven Bundesliga appearances.

Significant Competition

With the signing of the 50-million-euro Frenchman Michael Olise from Crystal Palace, Bayern’s offensive wings have become even more competitive. "It might be a bit harder for Bryan," said Eberl. Zaragoza noticed this as well. "He approached us. We think the idea of him getting playing time is good," Eberl stated. According to Sky Info, FC Girona and FC Valencia are currently interested in him.

Additionally, Joshua Kimmich and Eberl have set the course for a future together beyond the upcoming season. "With Joshua, we had the conversation," Eberl said. "The first discussion after the European Championship was very, very positive, very open from both sides. Now we’ll see how things proceed. Joshua is expected to play an important role for us."

De Ligt? "He is still a Bayern player."

Regarding Matthijs de Ligt, whom many Bayern fans would like to see stay in Munich, Eberl commented on Sky’s request: "I will comment on this (reasons for the upcoming move to ManUnited; editor's note) when the time comes. It’s not yet the time. Matthijs has played very well here for two years, and that’s why many fans like him. However, we must consider how decisions are made and how the young man feels. He is still a Bayern player. And as long as he is, he will have all our support."
