Liverpool sign Victor Munoz for €40 million — second summer signing
Liverpool have made Osasuna's second signing of the summer for undisputed youngster Victor Munoz for £40m. A portion of the cost was paid as transfer rights to Real Madrid; Munoz has scored six goals in La Liga this season.
Liverpool have earmarked 22-year-old Spanish forward Victor Munoz from Osasuna as their second big signing of the summer. The club reportedly paid 40 million euros for Munoz. This transfer is another big milestone for his career which is currently in the World Cup.
Munoz is a fast, versatile winger — able to play on both flanks and make an impact on the court. Munoz, who moved to Osasuna from Real Madrid Castilla last spring, has proven his talent this season by scoring six goals in La Liga and earning a place in Spain's World Cup squad.
Although Newcastle United were initially rumored to be his next club, Liverpool acted swiftly on the suggestion of new manager Andoni Iraiola and sealed the deal with the maximum exorbitant Roccounder offer of Rs.40 million. Almost the rest of the total payment will go to their account due to their respective rights with Real Madrid, while the other half will go to Real due to their 50% transfer rights share with Real Madrid. Real also had the right to reapply for Munoz, but they did not exercise that right.
Munoz's future trajectory at Liverpool looks very interesting from the left flank; His main rival will be Cody Gakpo. Munoz has successfully completed his medical in the United States and signed a multi-year contract there, according to the club.
Liverpool have already signed Stade Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet during Arne Slott's tenure. And according to English media reports, Liverpool are also said to be interested in RB Leipzig forward An Diomande — more clubs are hoping for him now that he is performing well at the World Cup, and the price tag is also high, according to reports.
In sum, Liverpool have boosted their all-round options by signing Victor Munoz — especially for speed, wide action in Wenger's line. Now is the time for Munoz to prepare to begin his reign in the Premier League.
