Liso and Bazdar to Join Real Zaragoza Preseason Camp While Awaiting Transfers
Real Zaragoza forwards Adrián Liso and Samed Bazdar will travel with the squad to Boltaña for preseason training camp on Sunday, even as their departures from the club are being negotiated. Bosnian striker Bazdar had a deal with Sweden's AIK fall through at the last minute, forcing him to return to Zaragoza and join the camp after medical tests. Winger Liso, who missed a recent friendly, is expected to leave but his destination is uncertain. Venezia has shown interest but only proposes a loan with purchase option, while Real Zaragoza prefers a direct transfer or a deferred sale with mandatory purchase. The club is reluctant to accept a simple loan, complicating Liso's exit.

AIK Solna and Real Zaragoza Break Off Negotiations for Samed Bazdar Transfer
Negotiations between Swedish club AIK Solna and Spanish side Real Zaragoza for the transfer of Bosnian international striker Samed Bazdar have collapsed. The deal, which was reportedly not close to finalization, fell through in recent hours. Real Zaragoza had previously rejected offers from Switzerland's St. Gallen and Austria's Sturm Graz. St. Gallen's offer, which included up to 2 million euros in performance-based clauses, is now off the table as they have signed another striker. Sturm Graz's loan offer with a 1 million euro purchase option was also rejected. Real Zaragoza aims to recover the 3 million euro investment made two summers ago for Bazdar, but his performance has been below expectations. The player, who had been given permission to extend his vacation, may now need to return to the club. It remains unclear if the negotiation can be revived.

Negotiations for Samed Bazdar's Transfer from Real Zaragoza to AIK Solna Collapse
Negotiations between Swedish club AIK Solna and Spanish side Real Zaragoza for the transfer of Bosnian international striker Samed Bazdar have broken down. The deal, which had been seen as the most feasible route for Bazdar's departure, derailed in recent hours despite earlier indications that a resolution was imminent. Real Zaragoza had already rejected offers from Switzerland's St. Gallen and Austria's Sturm Graz. St. Gallen's initial offer of up to 2 million euros in performance-based clauses is no longer viable as they have signed another striker, while Sturm Graz's loan-with-purchase-option offer of 1 million euros was rejected. Real Zaragoza aims to recover the 3 million euro investment made two summers ago for Bazdar, but his performance at the club and during a loan in Poland has been below expectations, complicating the sale. It remains unclear if negotiations can be revived or if Bazdar must return to training.
Real Z LLC Rejected St. Gallen's Offer for Samed Bazdar; Deal Now Withdrawn
The previous ownership of Real Z LLC, before A.GAIN took over by purchasing 75% of shares, rejected an offer from Swiss club St. Gallen 1879 for striker Samed Bazdar. The offer was close to Real Zaragoza's demands, involving a paid loan with an easy purchase option (essentially a deferred sale) and retaining 15% of the player's rights for a future transfer, valued at up to two million euros. That offer has now been completely withdrawn as St. Gallen has signed another striker, Andrin Hunziker from Basel. Bazdar's departure from Zaragoza is considered decided, with work ongoing on several fronts. Zaragoza has also rejected two other offers: one from Sturm Graz (loan with €1 million purchase option) and another from AIK Stockholm. Bazdar, a 14-time Bosnia and Herzegovina international, signed a five-year contract in summer 2024 for a €3 million fee, has played 40 league matches scoring 5 goals, and his high salary and status make his continuity unfeasible.
Real Z LLC Rejected St. Gallen's Offer for Samed Bazdar; Offer Now Withdrawn
Real Z LLC, the previous ownership of Real Zaragoza before A.GAIN took over, rejected an offer from Swiss club St. Gallen 1879 for striker Samed Bazdar. The offer was a paid loan with an easy purchase option (essentially a deferred sale) worth up to €2 million, plus retaining 15% of rights for a future sale. The rejection is considered difficult to explain as it came close to Zaragoza's demands. St. Gallen has since withdrawn the offer entirely, having signed another striker, Andrin Hunziker from Basel. Zaragoza has also rejected offers from Sturm Graz (loan with €1M purchase option) and AIK Stockholm. Bazdar, a 14-time Bosnia and Herzegovina international, cost Zaragoza €3 million from Partizan Belgrade in 2024. His departure is considered decided, but no acceptable offer has been received. The player has scored 5 goals in 40 league appearances for Zaragoza.
Real Zaragoza Rejects €2 Million St. Gallen Offer for Samed Bazdar
Real Zaragoza has rejected a €2 million offer from Swiss club St. Gallen for striker Samed Bazdar, retaining 15% of future sale rights. The proposal, received two weeks ago, was the best of three offers but fell short of Zaragoza's demands to recover their €3 million investment. Other rejected offers include a loan with €1 million purchase option from Austrian side Sturm Graz and a proposal from AIK Stockholm. Bazdar, who has 14 caps for Bosnia, recently returned from the World Cup where Bosnia was eliminated in the round of 16. He spent the second half of last season on loan at Polish club Jagiellonia, scoring three goals in 15 matches. Zaragoza's sporting director Lalo Arantegui stated the club will not sell the player unless all parties are satisfied. Bazdar has three years remaining on his five-year contract signed in 2024.

Real Zaragoza has rejected a two million euro offer from Swiss club St. Gallen for striker Samed Bazdar, which included a 15% sell-on clause. The offer, received two weeks ago, was the best of three proposals but still fell short of Zaragoza's demands. The other offers included a loan with a one million euro purchase option from Austrian side Sturm Graz and a proposal from AIK Stockholm. Zaragoza's sporting director Lalo Arantegui stated the club paid a significant transfer fee for Bazdar two years ago (3 million euros to Partizan) and will not sell unless all parties are satisfied. Bazdar, who has 14 caps for Bosnia, recently returned from the World Cup where Bosnia was eliminated in the round of 16. He spent the second half of last season on loan at Jagiellonia in Poland, scoring three goals in 15 matches. The 22-year-old has three years remaining on his contract with Zaragoza.
Real Zaragoza Rejects Sturm Graz Loan Offer for Samed Bazdar
Real Zaragoza has rejected a loan offer from Austrian club Sturm Graz for striker Samed Bazdar, as confirmed by sporting director Lalo Arantegui. Sturm Graz, runners-up in the Austrian Bundesliga and Champions League qualifiers, proposed a loan with no fee and a low voluntary purchase option of around one million euros. Zaragoza, recently relegated to Primera RFEF, invested three million euros in Bazdar in 2024 and aims to recover at least part of that sum. The club also rejected another undisclosed offer. Bazdar, who played for Bosnia at the World Cup, has struggled for form and game time, with previous loan offers from clubs in Portugal, Belgium, Poland, and Spain also dismissed. His high salary relative to Zaragoza's new division limits also complicates his continuity. The club insists on a mandatory or easily achievable purchase option in any future deal.
Real Zaragoza Rejects Sturm Graz Loan Offer for Samed Bazdar
Real Zaragoza has rejected a loan offer from Austrian Bundesliga side Sturm Graz for striker Samed Bazdar. The proposal included no loan fee and a low voluntary purchase option of around €1 million. Zaragoza's sporting director Lalo Arantegui confirmed the rejection, emphasizing the club's desire to recover at least part of the €3 million investment made when signing Bazdar from Partizan Belgrade in 2024. Sturm Graz, runners-up in Austria and Champions League qualifiers, sought to strengthen their squad with the Bosnian international, who recently played in the World Cup. Zaragoza also rejected another undisclosed offer. The club is open to a transfer but insists on a mandatory or easily achievable purchase option. Bazdar spent the second half of last season on loan at Polish club Jagiellonia, where a €2 million purchase option for 80% of his rights was not exercised. His high salary relative to Zaragoza's current budget in Primera RFEF makes his continuity difficult.
