Best FM 24 Loan Signings – Winter Update

While everything in the normal list below is ok, we wanted to bring an update with some players that have been made available since the Winter update.

Julien Duranville

While he might not be the most impressive-looking player at face value, Duramville can do bits for a side that can give him game time. Ideally, your goal is to play him enough that Dortmund doesn’t overvalue him and maybe you can make a move in the Summer. At a Premier League level, Julien will struggle against some of the best in the league, however, for a lower-table side he’ll get minutes. In the Winter update, his natural fitness was reduced, so it’s worth taking care of his minutes.

Andriy Lunin

If you need a keeper in a pinch, you could do a lot worse than Lunin. Thanks to the fact he plays for Real Madrid, who, have way too many good keepers in FM 24 Lunin is fairly easy to get out of Madrid. If you can, wait till later in the window to reduce the wage contribution, but if you need a keeper than jump early. Given his age, and the side he plays for, it’s also fairly likely you could bring him in after the loan is finished.

Best FM 24 Loan Signings

FM 24 offers a wealth of exceptional loan signing opportunities, and the following picks are truly the crème de la crème in this year’s Football Manager game.

Emile Smith Rowe

Let’s kick off the list of the best FM 24 loan signings with one of the most prominent names that springs to mind: Emile Smith Rowe. This English youngster showcased his talent by netting 11 goals for Arsenal during the 21/22 season, although his contributions waned last season due to extended injury layoffs. You have the opportunity to loan the 22-year-old, who is capable of playing in various positions, and anticipate an immediate positive impact on your team.

Hugo Ekitike

Hugo Ekitike experienced a breakout season in Ligue 1 during the 21/22 season, making an impressive 11-goal contributions in nearly as many 90-minute appearances for Stade de Reims. His remarkable season, however, led him to Paris Saint-Germain in the following season, where playing time has been scarce. The striker and the club are currently open for a loan move and he is on reasonable wages as well. Ekitike stands out as a valuable addition and a promising choice for many of you.

Brahim Diaz

Brahim Diaz has spent a lot of time away from his parent club on loan, and Real Madrid are once again exploring the possibility of sending the talented Spaniard to another temporary destination. With his versatility to play out wide or through the middle, Diaz stands as a reliable choice for any top club in search of a budding star. Plus, considering his youth, there’s a possibility to secure his services permanently down the line.

Romario Baro

Romario Baro has garnered attention from multiple Serie A powerhouses, but Porto has retained the services of the young midfielder. He possesses the rare ability to use both feet and can seamlessly adapt to a more advanced role when necessary. It’s worth noting that Porto are open to a loan move, but they do require a loan fee, which, in my save, exceeded €2.5 million. Considering his modest wage demands, however, signing a midfielder of his caliber at a relatively low loan fee appears to be a favorable proposition.

Tanguy Nianzou

Tanguy Nianzou is an FM 24 wonderkid, who is up for grabs in the loan market. The 21-year-old French defender is currently seeking first-team opportunities, leading his parent club, Sevilla, to place him on the loan list. Whether you’re in charge of a mid-table squad or one with loftier aspirations, I firmly believe that Nianzou is a gamble you should seriously consider, as he holds the promise of becoming a standout talent for your team.

Yunus Musah

AC Milan and United States midfielder Yunus Musah is a player you should definitely keep an eye on, whether you’re thinking about a temporary or permanent deal. Milan has Musah available for loan, and his hunger for first-team football creates an enticing opportunity for any mid to low-table club considering this deal. Musah is an exceptionally talented midfielder with impressive stats, and his rapid growth can swiftly transform him into a pivotal asset for your team in this year’s game.

Thomas Lemar

Thomas Lemar is a player who brings substantial experience to your side. The 27-year-old is currently on Atletico Madrid’s loan-out list. He is primarily a winger but can also operate as a wingback if you choose to use a five-man system. You can also deploy him as a left-sided midfielder or put him just behind the striker. The Frenchman has excellent attributes all across the board. Atletico Madrid would want to include a permanent transfer clause in the arrangement, but still, he would be a good signing for a team with European ambitions.

Scott McTominay

Scott McTominay is another experienced midfielder in the market that you can bring in on loan. His mental attributes, particularly his exceptional aggression, bravery, and determination stats, paint a picture of a player with a commanding on-field presence and exceptional leadership qualities. He also has good physical attributes for a central defensive midfielder. While he has the potential to become an outstanding long-term addition to your team, you won’t be obligated to offer a future permanent deal when acquiring him.
