Real Zaragoza Want Bojan Krkic & Fernando Morientes

Bojan Krkic could gain valuable first-team experience alongside Fernando Morientes at La Romareda next term...



Real Zaragoza will make a formal bid to sign Bojan Krkic on loan to play alongside Valencia's Fernando Morientes as soon as their return to the Spanish top flight is confirmed.

Los Manos are already planning for next term and believe that they can head off other clubs to persuade Barcelona to lend them the 19-year-old for a season.

Krkic has been tipped to leave Camp Nou for a year in order to gain first-team experience and Zaragoza would be able to offer him a regular place in their side.

Sitting in third place in the Spanish second tier, the Aragonese outfit would propose a deal that would see the striker join them without a purchase option but with the chance for them to renew the loan, AS state.

The competition could be fierce as Deportivo de La Coruna and Almeria have already registered their interest, while Shakhtar Donetsk are also keen to sign the youngster.

To partner Krkic and to give him a tutor, Zaragoza have already opened negotiations with Morientes about a return to the club where he made his name during a two-year spell before joining Real Madrid.

The 33-year-old will able to leave Valencia at the end of the current season and has already admitted that he would jump at the chance of going back to La Romareda if they win promotion.
