FC Barcelona is speeding up its plans for a new left winger this summer and has already shortlisted two elite attackers.
With the current squad still lacking a clear, high‑level option on the left flank, the club is focused on adding a technically strong, left‑footed winger who can cut inside, combine with the midfielders, and consistently threaten from the edge of the box.
Barcelona sees this as one of the most important upgrades of the 2026 transfer window, particularly as Lamine Yamal continues to thrive on the right and the team looks to complete its attacking picture.
Those two elite wingers in focus are Victor Muñoz and Andreas Schjelderup, as reported by Diario Sport.
Muñoz is a La Liga‑based winger currently on loan with Osasuna from Barcelona and has caught the eye with his pace, directness, and ability to score and create from the flank.
He fits the profile of a player who can return to Camp Nou as a more mature, ready‑made option after a season of regular first‑team football.
Schjelderup, meanwhile, offers a younger, long‑term project on the left wing, with explosive speed, intelligent movement, and an eye for a finish.
The Benfica forward has already reached double‑digit goal contributions this campaign and has publicly expressed his desire to one day join Barcelona if the opportunity arises.
Barcelona is carefully assessing both players’ situations, with financial feasibility, contract length, and release‑clause structures all playing a key role in the final decision.
Muñoz brings familiarity with the club’s setup and a proven La Liga track record, while Schjelderup brings age, upside, and a relatively lighter financial burden.
By concentrating on these two elite profiles, Barcelona hopes to secure a left winger who can either start from day one or push the first‑team buttons over the next several seasons as the club continues its attack‑oriented rebuild.
