Liverpool officially announced the signing of 22-year-old Victor Munoz from Osasuna on June 18, 2026, after triggering his €40 million (around £34.5-34.6 million) release clause [1, 2, 3, 4]. Munoz, a forward who can play on either wing or as a central striker, completed his medical and signed a six-year contract at Spain’s World Cup training base in Tennessee, USA [3, 1, 4, 2].
Munoz had his breakthrough season last year, scoring six goals in 34 La Liga appearances with Osasuna [1, 2]. He made his international debut for Spain in March 2026, marking it with a goal against Serbia in a friendly [1, 4, 2]. He is currently part of Spain’s squad at the ongoing 2026 World Cup.
This signing is the first under Liverpool’s new head coach Andoni Iraola, who replaced Arne Slot earlier this month [3, 1, 4, 2]. The club described Munoz as the second addition to the Reds’ playing squad ahead of the 2026-27 season, following centre-back Jeremy Jacquet earlier this year [1].
Munoz’s versatility and speed are key to his appeal. He is valued for his ability to operate effectively both on the flanks and centrally [4]. Several other clubs, including Newcastle United, Manchester United, Bayer Leverkusen, Barcelona, and Real Madrid youth teams, had shown interest in the Spaniard [3, 4].
Spain drew 1-1 with Cape Verde in their opening 2026 World Cup Group H match. Their next group game is against Saudi Arabia on Sunday, June 21, 2026 [1, 2].
