Bryan Zaragoza is on the move again after Bayern Munich agreed to send the Spanish winger on another loan, this time to La Liga side Espanyol.

The 24-year-old will spend his latest temporary spell in Catalonia, where he will become a team-mate of Slovenian defender Vanja Drkušić.

Drkušić recently joined Espanyol and made his debut against Real Madrid.

Fourth loan since Bayern move

Another temporary departure is nothing new for Zaragoza, whose Bayern career has so far been dominated by loan spells.

The German giants signed him from Granada in 2024, but he has subsequently spent time away from Munich with Osasuna, Celta Vigo and Roma.

Espanyol now become his fourth loan destination as Zaragoza returns to Spanish football and searches for greater continuity.

The move offers him another opportunity to establish himself in La Liga, the competition where he first made his name with Granada before attracting Bayern's attention.

Espanyol continue summer rebuild

Zaragoza is the latest addition in a busy transfer window for Espanyol.

The Catalan club have also recruited Gabriel Moscardo from Paris Saint-Germain, Unai Núñez from Celta Vigo and Álex Calatrava from second-tier Castellón.

Calatrava, like Drkušić, made his Espanyol debut against Real Madrid. Despite Espanyol's defeat, the 26-year-old marked his first appearance by finding the net.

Zaragoza now adds another attacking option to a squad that has undergone considerable changes during the summer.

Real Sociedad next for Espanyol

Espanyol's next challenge comes on Saturday evening when they travel to San Sebastián to face Real Sociedad.

Zaragoza's arrival gives the Catalan side another option ahead of the fixture, while Drkušić will hope to continue establishing himself after making his debut against Real Madrid.

For Zaragoza, the move represents another attempt to find regular football away from Bayern. After spells in Spain and Italy since joining the Bundesliga champions, his career will now continue at Espanyol.
