Victor Munoz, the 22-year-old Spanish international winger, has signed a six-year contract with Liverpool, becoming the first acquisition under new manager Andoni Iraola. The Reds fended off competition from several clubs to secure the deal.
Who is Victor Munoz?
Munoz was born in Barcelona, Spain, in July 2003. He began his football journey at Sant Adrià de Besòs in his hometown and spent three years at La Masia academy. At age 18, he joined Real Madrid's Youth Academy and was later promoted to the reserve team in Primera Federación.
Described as the fastest player in the Real Madrid squad, Munoz signed a five-year contract with Osasuna in July 2025. He made his international debut for Spain earlier this year, scoring the third goal in a 3-0 friendly victory over Serbia. He was selected for the 26-man squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Liverpool Transfer Details
Liverpool triggered Munoz's release clause with Osasuna, with 50% of the fee due to Real Madrid. The deal is worth £34.5 million, paid in two instalments. The versatile winger will add depth to a forward line that lost Mohamed Salah and Hugo Ekitike.
Newcastle, Manchester United, Bayer Leverkusen, and Real Madrid were also interested, but Liverpool prevailed. New head coach Iraola was a driving force in the decision, with early talks between him and the club's recruitment staff.
Family Life
Munoz keeps his private life private, and it is unclear if he will move to the north-west ahead of the new season. He shares professional insights on social media, with over 350,000 Instagram followers. After being selected for the World Cup squad, he posted: "Dreams that come true! Vamos."
Liverpool fans have flooded his recent posts with welcoming comments, including "Welcome to Liverpool Victor YNWA."
