No matter what happens at the end of this season, Real Madrid plans to bring back three players who recently wore the white shirt in time for the start of the 2026/27 season.
Real Madrid is aware that, despite still being alive in La Liga and the Champions League, it is having an unusual season. The team needs to shore up some positions and difference-makers in the offensive department. The dependence on Mbappe and Vinicius is evident. The club is already working in the engine room and in the offensive zone.
With the left wing more than covered with Vinicius, the option of Kylian and Rodrygo when he recovers, or even the young Yanez, the priorities are a player who can supply the ball to these footballers, a natural center forward, and someone on the right, since Franco Mastantuono has not quite taken off.
The major investment will go to the midfield, and the rest of the moves will depend on sales. In these positions, the reinforcements will come at low cost since they are players the club has under control.
According to Ser Deportivos, the club has already decided to buy back Nico Paz (for less than €10 million), Victor Munoz, who is tearing it up at Osasuna, for €8 million, and to bring back Endrick, who was on loan at Olympique Lyonnais. The idea is that they will be placed under the coach’s orders during the preseason and then decide their future.
Nico Paz, 21, is the absolute leader of a Como team fighting for a Champions League spot in Italy. Additionally, he is becoming increasingly important in Argentina. In Serie A, he has 10 goals and six assists in 29 matches. He can be the perfect link between the midfield and attack with his left foot.
Victor Munoz, 22, has five goals and two assists in 29 matches with Osasuna. He destroys opposing defenses with his blistering pace. He made his debut with Spain’s senior team last Friday, scoring a little goal. He can adapt to both wings.
Endrick is benefiting from his loan to Lyon in France. He has scored six goals and provided five assists in 16 matches. Something that has earned him another call-up to Brazil. And most importantly, he has shown he can adapt well to the right-wing position.
