Spanish winger Víctor Muñoz, who was about to join Newcastle, will have a new destination: Anfield. Liverpool has stepped in and diverted the player. According to transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, the Osasuna player will be a reinforcement for the Reds this summer. Muñoz was in advanced negotiations with Newcastle, discussing a deal worth 35 million euros, plus 5 million in bonuses, but in the end, the club from the city of the Beatles will pay the release clause of 40 million euros. One of the revelations of the last La Liga season, Muñoz has already passed his medical exams in the United States and will sign a contract until 2032. Currently at the World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada with the Spanish national team, he will be coached by his compatriot, Andoni Iraola, who replaced Dutch coach Arne Slot. Muñoz will fill the gap left by Mohamed Salah. Real Madrid, which sold Muñoz for just 5 million euros in 2025, will receive half of the 40 million euros, as they retained 50 percent of the player’s rights, along with a right of first refusal that they did not exercise. With the confirmation of this sale, Víctor Muñoz will become the most expensive sale in Osasuna’s history to date.
