The jewel of Granada’s squad attracts attention for his talent and the subtle imbalance he brings to the pitch.
Bryan Zaragoza has emerged as one of LaLiga’s most talked about young talents, with the Granada winger showcasing the same burst and flair that marked his performances in the Segunda Division.
The step up to the top flight does not appear to have dampened his impact. The 21-year-old, born in Malaga on September 9, 2001, is drawing eyes from fans and scouts alike as he carves out a growing reputation in a demanding league.
He demonstrated his quality against Atletico Madrid on the season’s opening night, caught attention with his displays against Rayo Vallecano in the following match, and his influence helped Granada secure a win at Mallorca on the third matchday. He began quietly but grew into a continual threat for opponents, tilting the scales in Granada’s favor as the weeks passed.
Bryan Zaragoza, Granada’s rising star: contract details, release clause and market value
As January approaches, the question lingers: could a club still pry him away before the transfer window closes, on deadline day? Zaragoza himself has signaled strong loyalty, underscoring his commitment after the Mallorca victory with a clear message: “This is my club and my home. It has given me everything and I am 100 percent committed to Granada.”
His relationship with Granada runs deep. He joined the club in 2020 and immediately became part of a strategic push that helped reestablish the team among Spain’s elite. After delivering a pivotal contribution in the campaign that secured promotion, the winger extended his contract at the end of the 2022/23 season. The deal now runs through 2027, signaling a long-term plan from the Nasrid leadership to keep him as a core asset.
One notable challenge remains the modest nature of his release clause, reportedly set at around 14 million euros. That figure, comparatively low for Spanish giants and even for several Premier League clubs, raises questions about market dynamics and potential interest should a major club decide to move. His current market value, according to specialized trackers, is estimated at about 1.5 million euros, a reflection of both his age and the evolving market conditions in European football.
With the transfer window approaching its close, Granada appears confident in maintaining the momentum of the 21-year-old talent. Yet history reminds clubs that deals can move quickly, as was seen when Atlético de Madrid reportedly activated a six million euro clause for a different young Granadan striker just days earlier. That incident fuels ongoing caution within the Nasrid camp, even as they hold fast to Zaragoza’s developing potential. (Goal)
In short, Zaragoza embodies the type of homegrown talent that clubs value highly: a player who can influence results, grow with a club over time, and become a symbol of a team’s identity. His journey at Granada continues to be watched closely by supporters and rival clubs alike, as he matures into a more complete player capable of shaping outcomes on bigger stages.
