Liverpool have activated a release clause for Osasuna winger Victor Munoz.
The Reds have effectively hijacked Newcastle Later Spain tried to sign the winger Sky Sports News The Magpies are said to be in talks over a deal.
The 22-year-old is part of the Spanish squad World Cup. Reports say he will undergo a medical in the US and join for a fee of £34.6 million.
The situation is reminiscent of last summer, when Liverpool not only leapfrogged Newcastle in the race for Hugo Ekiti but also signed their star striker Alexander Isak.
Munoz joined Barcelona’s La Masia academy at the age of 11 and eventually made the switch to Real Madrid’s youth team in 2023.
Current Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso handed the winger a first-team La Liga debut in May 2025, introducing him as a substitute for Vinicius Junior against Barca.
Munoz signed a five-year deal at Osasuna that summer and played 34 league games last season, scoring six goals and providing two assists.
Liverpool want two wingers this summer
Liverpool are planning to sign two wingers to replace Mohamed Salah Ian Diomond Considered another top goal. There is plenty of competition for the 19-year-old, valued at more than £86m by RB Leipzig and currently at the World Cup with Ivory Coast.
Diomande, who can play on either wing, is a versatile talent Liverpool are prioritizing this summer as they look to rebuild their forward line with players who can adapt, giving Andoni Irraola more options than his predecessor in case of injury.
Right-back is another area of pressure for Liverpool, who lost Connor Bradley to a knee injury in January, as last summer’s signing Jeremy Frimpong failed to make the position his own, while there is also uncertainty over the future of Joe Gomez.

Ian Diomond opens up about his football journey so far, which has included trials at Premier League clubs such as Chelsea and Crystal Palace, and why he has no problem staying abroad.
Despite Ibrahima’s move to Kona, Liverpool do not consider signing a new centre-back a priority with the £60million arrival of Jeremy Jaquet and the return of teenager Giovanni Leone, who has been sidelined since September with an ACL injury.
However, the duo’s lack of Premier League experience could force Liverpool to reconsider their position later in the window. An option like Gomez, who can play both right-back and centre-back, would solve many of Liverpool’s problems at the back.
The urgency of bringing in a left-back replacement to impress the departed Andy Robertson could ease with the return of Kostas Simikas from his loan at Roma. All players will have a clean slate under Iraola, which is potentially good news for Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott.
The arrival of Ryan Gravenburch in Arne Slott’s first year in charge brought a holding midfielder further down Liverpool’s priority list but the team’s performances this season have highlighted the need for further reinforcements in that position.
