Liverpool Football Club has officially confirmed the signing of striker Victor Munoz from Osasuna, marking the first acquisition under new manager Andoni Iraola.

Details of the Transfer

The 22-year-old forward has agreed to a long-term contract, reportedly spanning six years. The completion of the transfer is contingent upon obtaining a successful work permit and international clearance. Liverpool triggered Munoz's €40 million (£34.7 million) release clause to secure his services, despite Newcastle United also showing significant interest in the player.

Munoz's Background and Current Status

Currently representing Spain at the World Cup, Munoz is anticipated to play a key role in the upcoming 2026-27 season for Liverpool. His addition comes at a crucial time, as teammate Hugo Ekiktike is expected to be sidelined for most of the season due to an Achilles injury, and Alexander Isak's fitness remains uncertain following an injury-plagued debut season at Anfield.

Munoz joined Osasuna from Real Madrid last summer, where he made a notable impact by scoring seven goals and providing five assists in 34 appearances during the current season. He also made his international debut for Spain in March, scoring against Serbia, and is set to feature in their next World Cup match against Saudi Arabia.

This signing is not only significant for the immediate future but also represents a strategic move for Liverpool as they build their squad for the next season. Munoz follows Jeremy Jaquet, who completed his transfer to Anfield in January and spent the remainder of the season on loan at Rennes.
