Then, Bryan and his family moved to Barbate, a city in Spain, and spent his childhood there. However, Bryan is not the only child of his family, and he has an elder brother, Sergio. Both Bryan and Sergio were born when their parents had not gotten married yet.

However, neither Bryan's parents nor his bother thought that the youngest member of their family would become a professional footballer. Although the small boy had shown great interest in playing football, no one imagined that Bryan would become a successful footballer in the future.

During his childhood, Bryan used to play football in the street, and mostly his playmates were older than him. Whenever he could not appear successfully in his dribbles and past his opponents, he cried.
