Bryan Zaragoza is biding his time as he contemplates his next move. The 24-year-old spent last season divided between loan stints at Vigo and Rome, and remains fully aware that he is currently surplus to requirements at Bayern Munich.

Speculation has recently linked the winger with a return to Malaga, his hometown club who have just secured their return to La Liga following an eight-year hiatus. Nevertheless, BeSoccer can confirm that there has been no formal move from the player's camp to facilitate a return to La Rosaleda.

Even if interest were to intensify in the coming weeks, any potential deal would be fraught with complications. The 24-year-old currently commands a hefty salary at Bayern, worth in the region of 6 million euros. Furthermore, the German giants are reportedly reluctant to subsidise any portion of his wages as part of a fresh loan agreement.

This outlet can also confirm that contact has been established with Ajax. Michel, the newly appointed manager of the Dutch giants, personally reached out to Bryan Zaragoza several weeks ago to sound him out over a move to the Eredivisie. For now, the attacker remains on holiday and undecided on his destination for the new season.

The Malaga-born winger is tied to the Allianz Arena until June 2029, having joined in 2024 in a 13 million euro switch from Granada. Bayern will be keen to recoup their investment, though Zaragoza has spent much of his tenure away on loan at Osasuna, Celta, and Roma. Last term, he made 26 appearances for the Galician side, netting twice and providing four assists, before a brief six-game spell with the 'Giallorossi' yielded just a single assist.
