Emil Forsberg (32) is moving from RB Leipzig to the sister club New York Red Bulls, but only if the Saxons can find a successor in January (to the news).

The 22-year-old, flexible offensive man is under contract with the LaLiga newcomer until 2027, but could change at any time thanks to the release clause that is mandatory in Spain. According to “Relevo”, this should be 14 million euros. With five goals and two assists in 13 games in his second professional season, Zaragoza is considered the league’s shooting star; his market value rose from 1.5 million to 8 million euros in the most recent update.

“Bryan Zaragoza is one of the surprises in LaLiga,” says Iván Fuente, Content Manager Transfermarkt Spain. “He was even called up to the national team despite his team’s poor performances, which makes it harder to shine. Zaragoza can operate on both wings and centrally. He is fast, unpredictable and has very good dribbling skills. The more uncontrolled the game, the better for him. An exchange of blows is good for him.”

RB Leipzig has competition in courting Granada shooting star Zaragoza

However, RB Leipzig has competition in its bid for Zaragoza, which has been observed by several European clubs for months. “Relevo” specifically mentions Premier League club Brentford FC, who expressed their interest weeks ago and were of the opinion that the offensive man with his characteristics would be a perfect fit for English football.

FC Granada is also said to have not given up on its efforts to grow its own team. The penultimate team in the table has already been negotiating a further contract extension in recent weeks, which would provide for an increase in the clause and the salary. The answer to the great interest in Zaragoza should always be the same: there will be no other option than to pay his clause.
