Just when a deal with Newcastle seemed all but completed, Victor Muñoz has decided to join Liverpool instead. The young Osasuna winger made a last-minute choice in favor of the Reds, creating one of the biggest transfer surprises of the summer.
Competition has been fierce in the Premier League transfer market, and Liverpool have come out on top. According to Fabrizio Romano, the European champions convinced the 22-year-old Spaniard to choose Anfield over St James’ Park. The sudden turnaround reportedly caught Newcastle’s hierarchy off guard, as they had been increasingly confident about securing his signature.
Liverpool Trigger Release Clause
To complete the move quickly, Liverpool decided to activate the player’s €40 million release clause. It is a significant investment for a winger coming off a solid campaign with Osasuna, where he scored six goals in 34 La Liga appearances.
With this latest attacking addition, Liverpool continue their ambitious recruitment drive while handing Newcastle a major setback. The Magpies believed they had secured their target, but it is ultimately the Reds who have won the race for Victor Muñoz.
The transfer further underlines Liverpool’s determination to strengthen a squad already competing at the highest level, while Newcastle are now expected to turn their attention to alternative options in the market.
