Real Madrid Transfers: 5 possible wingers to target in summer 2021
Levante RM Jorge de Frutos
This list has entirely focused on the big names to this point, as the four previous players are all among the best in the world. All would cost a fortune, but all of them would be immediate starters and superstars for a Real Madrid side that has starved for that kind of quality due to Eden Hazard’s injury woes.
So it is only fitting to go with a lesser-known commodity to close the list. Jorge de Frutos was sold to Levante this past summer, but he has suddenly blossomed out of nowhere for the Frogs.
De Frutos is a potential alternative to Lucas Vazquez, should the Galician winger and right back decide to leave Los Blancos after all. And in that sense, De Frutos isn’t a pure winger but is more of a right-sided midfielder who could cycle among right back, right wing back, and right winger.
Real Madrid have the ability to buy back De Frutos for cheaper, since they own a portion of his rights. They would not have to get into any bidding wars or be forced to pay a high fee to Levante. So that is a big plus.
The 24-year-old has four goals and eight assists this season, which is excellent production at Levante. He has shown that he has the ability to take over games and averages 1.2 dribbles completed per game and 1.1 key passes per game in LaLiga. De Frutos has more upside than some think and is very much a player for Real Madrid fans to keep in mind this summer as a realistic signing out wide.
