The Four Wingers Real Madrid Must Target This Summer—Ranked From Best to Bold

Real Madrid need to strengthen their midfield and defense in the upcoming summer transfer window, but they may also look to bring in an additional winger to bolster their attack.

On the surface, Los Blancos appear well-stocked in attacking positions. They have Vinicius Junior, Kylian Mbappé, Rodrygo, Brahim Díaz, and Franco Mastantuono at their disposal. Loanee Endrick is also set to return to the Bernabéu at season's end to compete with fellow striker Gonzalo García for bench minutes.

Yet the 15-time European champions continue to struggle in front of goal, particularly in La Liga. Only Mbappé and Vinicius Jr have reached double figures in league goals this season, with the team netting 65 times compared to Barcelona's 84—a key factor behind the nine-point gap separating the two clubs at the top of the table.

Real Madrid need to make changes, and a new right-wing option could be the catalyst the club requires to reclaim supremacy in Spain and across Europe. The silver lining for Los Blancos is that several players across the continent fit the profile, though landing any of them may prove more difficult than anticipated.

4. Michael Olise

Let's begin with the ultimate dream signing: Michael Olise. The 23-year-old ranks among the finest wingers on the planet, and Real Madrid witnessed his exceptional creativity and lethal left foot up close during the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals.

It's no secret that landing a player of Olise's caliber—who has already racked up 42 goal contributions this season—would go a long way toward solving Los Blancos' attacking problems. His combination play with Trent Alexander-Arnold could also finally generate consistent output from the right flank after two seasons of routing nearly every attack down the left side.

However, Olise is unlikely to be on the move anytime soon. Despite reported interest from Real Madrid, the Frenchman is tied to Bayern Munich until 2029 and would have little reason to leave a setup in which he is thriving, even with the world's biggest club reportedly pursuing him.

Likelihood: 2/10

3. Pedro Neto

On the subject of lengthy contracts, Pedro Neto signed a seven-year deal with Chelsea in 2024, yet he has failed to live up to expectations during his first two seasons at Stamford Bridge. The Portuguese winger has managed just 19 goals in 97 appearances in a blue shirt.

Given the current situation in west London, coupled with the club's mounting financial concerns, Neto could be a strong candidate to be sent out on loan next season, allowing Estêvão and Geovany Quenda to take charge of the right wing and address the gaps in Chelsea's inconsistent attack.

Neto's blistering pace alone would be a valuable asset for a Real Madrid side that thrives on the counter-attack, and recent links to Barcelona suggest a move to La Liga may be on his radar. Whether Los Blancos would be willing to take a gamble—even at the right price—on another inconsistent Premier League talent, however, is still an open question.

Likelihood: 4/10

2. Víctor Muñoz

If value for money is Real Madrid's top priority, they may look to reacquire former Castilla standout Víctor Muñoz. The winger moved to Osasuna ahead of the 2025–26 campaign and has enjoyed a breakout season, featuring in almost every match and contributing six goals and five assists. He also earned his first Spain national team call-up during the March international break.

As with other academy graduates who departed, Los Blancos ensured Muñoz's Osasuna contract included a buy-back clause, valid for the next three years. Should the Spanish giants activate it this summer, they would need to pay just $10.5 million (€9 million) to bring the 22-year-old back to the Bernabéu.

Recent reports suggest the club may exercise that option simply to block Barcelona from acquiring the forward as a potential backup in case they cannot retain Marcus Rashford. If that's the case, Muñoz may find himself with limited playing time in a white shirt—the very reason he left in the first place.

Likelihood: 6.5/10

1. Konstantinos Karetsas

Few things excite Real Madrid more than snapping up a wonderkid. They're usually Brazilian, but Greek international Konstantinos Karetsas has reportedly attracted serious attention from the Spanish capital.

Unlike the other players on this list, the 18-year-old is primarily a creative playmaker. Karetsas possesses outstanding vision and a devastating left foot, capable of manufacturing chance after chance for his teammates in open play and from set pieces alike. He has registered an impressive 18 assists across all competitions this season for Belgian club Genk.

That kind of selfless, inventive play is precisely what Los Blancos are lacking, particularly on the right wing. Having another player capable of delivering elite service could ease the friction between Mbappé and Vinicius Jr and help them stop getting in each other's way.

Several European heavyweights are also in the running, with Chelsea, Manchester City, and AC Milan all reportedly monitoring the youngster. However, the prospect of playing alongside two of the world's best forwards could be enough to lure the teenager to Madrid.

Likelihood: 8/10
