Bazdar's Polish move opens door for Agada at Zaragoza
Real Zaragoza confirm Samed Bazdar's loan to Polish side Jagiellonia Białystok, paving the way for Willy Agada's arrival from MLS as their new striking option.
Zaragoza’s striker reshuffle continues as Bazdar heads east while Agada waits in the wings
Real Zaragoza have finally made official what the Spanish football grapevine has been buzzing about for days - Samed Bazdar is off to Poland, joining Jagiellonia Białystok on loan until the end of the season.
Bosnian’s brief Zaragoza stint
The Aragonese club’s statement offered a quick recap of Bazdar’s time at the club, noting that since arriving in summer 2024, the Bosnian forward managed to rack up:
- 40 appearances for Los Maños
- 5 goals in Zaragoza colours
The club didn’t beat around the bush about what’s next for the 23-year-old, confirming he’ll be plying his trade in Poland’s top flight, the Ekstraklasa, for the remainder of the campaign.
Farewell message
In typical fashion, Zaragoza didn’t miss the chance to send Bazdar off with some warm words, thanking him for his “professionalism and commitment” during his time in the white shirt and wishing him the best for the second half of the season.
Agada incoming
The real story here, though, is what this move enables. With Bazdar out the door, Zaragoza have cleared the way for their new striking option - Willy Agada.
The Nigerian forward is expected to be announced in the coming hours, joining on a permanent deal after becoming a free agent following his stint in Major League Soccer. Zaragoza fans will be hoping he’s the answer to their goalscoring prayers, as the team continues their push in the Segunda División.
For Bazdar, it’s a chance to get more regular minutes in Poland, while Zaragoza look to freshen things up front with Agada. Bit of a win-win for all parties, if you ask me.
