Dominate the Flanks: Top Right Wing Signings That Will Transform Your Football Manager 26 Squad

A powerful attacking lineup is essential for success in Football Manager 26.

With numerous tactical setups available, right wingers have various roles to fill and remain crucial squad members. Securing the perfect signing is vital.

Whether operating with limited funds or enjoying substantial resources, here are Sports Illustrated's suggested right winger targets.

Budget-Friendly Choices

Gaspar (Real Sporting)

With a release clause of £4.3 million and relatively modest wages, Gaspar represents your primary target in this price range.

He offers flexibility, balanced attributes, and at 25 years old, provides potential profit opportunities with smart management.

Iago Aspas (Celta Vigo)

For immediate impact, Iago Aspas offers the highest current ability at this price level. Mid-table clubs seeking quality without major investment can secure him for £3 million.

While his 37 years and limited pace of 11 aren't perfect, he remains a wise temporary solution while seeking long-term alternatives.

Martin Ojeda (Orlando City)

At £2.3 million, Martín Ojeda's adaptability represents exceptional value for smaller clubs aiming to compete above expectations.

His consistent 13s and 14s across key attributes, combined with being 26, offer both performance and future transfer value.

Theo Bongonda (Spartak Moscow)

While no longer the promising talent of previous years, 29-year-old Theo Bongonda remains a solid choice for smaller teams needing reliable attacking reinforcement.

At £5.25 million, he's our priciest budget recommendation, but Bongonda delivers value for teams wanting an inverted winger who cuts inside effectively.

Everton Ribeiro (Bahia)

At 36 and declining, Everton Ribeiro offers perhaps one quality season, but at just £475,000, he's an affordable short-term solution.

He provides exceptional technical skills, including 18 dribbling and 16 passing. His 12 pace is surprisingly decent for his age bracket.

Mid-Range Targets

Lucas Ocampos (Monterrey)

Leading this category is Monterrey's Lucas Ocampos, clearly the finest player available without breaking the bank.

While £18.5 million seems steep, Ocampos is the sole mid-range option capable of competing with premium alternatives. Every team should consider pursuing him.

Alexis Vega (Toluca)

Mexican football offers value, with Toluca's Alexis Vega available for £10 million.

At 27 with reasonable wages and 15 dribbling, Vega suits mid-table teams perfectly and could provide squad depth for larger clubs.

Steven Bergwijn (Al Ittihad)

Saudi Arabia features numerous transfer-listed players. While Al Hilal's Malcom demands over £300,000 weekly, Steven Bergwijn at Al Ittihad earns half that amount.

Requiring £8.5 million for the transfer, this represents reasonable overall value for the complete package.

Riyad Mahrez (Al Ahli)

Al Ahli accepts just £1.2 million for former Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez, who at 34 remains capable of high-level impact.

However, his substantial wages make this deal primarily suitable for elite clubs seeking squad rotation options.

Ruben Garcia (Osasuna)

Osasuna's Rubén García has an £8.75 million release clause that mid-table sides should seriously consider activating.

With solid 13s and 14s throughout his attributes, the 31-year-old offers reliability and appears capable of performing at high levels for several seasons.

Premium Signings

Alexis Saelemaekers (AC Milan)

In this price tier, budget limitations become crucial. AC Milan's Alexis Saelemaekers represents the entry point at £25 million.

While the 26-year-old may not reach elite status, he's certainly capable enough for virtually any squad and ideal if budget constraints apply. For higher budgets, continue reading.

Riccardo Orsolini (Bologna)

Bologna's Riccardo Orsolini brings 15 pace, 16 dribbling, and 16 finishing, making him perfect for teams wanting direct goal threats from wide positions.

Priced at £38 million with modest wages for this category, the 28-year-old could seamlessly integrate into almost any global squad.

Serge Gnabry (Bayern Munich)

With only 12 months remaining on his Bayern Munich deal, Serge Gnabry becomes available for £33 million, though his wage demands are substantial.

The investment proves worthwhile. Gnabry ranks among the game's finest wingers and offers versatility across multiple attacking roles.

Ferran Torres (Barcelona)

Multiple top clubs pursue Barcelona's Ferran Torres at game start, an elite talent currently serving as a squad player in Hansi Flick's packed attack.

Barcelona demands £47.5 million, representing outstanding value for a player of Ferran's caliber.

Christian Pulisic (AC Milan)

For wealthy top-tier clubs, AC Milan's Christian Pulisic represents the ultimate acquisition, with his real-world form earning significant FM26 improvements.

The £53 million fee is required, but the 26-year-old's relatively modest wages reduce the total package cost, making it essential for well-funded teams.
