Liverpool announce agreement to sign Víctor Muñoz

And here is a first signing for Liverpool during this transfer window (after that of Jérémy Jacquet this winter, editor’s note) which risks shaking the club in a lot of aspects. The Scousers have just announced that they have reached an agreement with Osasuna for the upcoming transfer of Víctor Muñoz. “We have reached an agreement to sign Víctor Muñoz from Osasuna, subject to a validated work permit application and international clearance», Indicates the press release published this Thursday evening.

This is the Reds’ first recruit. The young Spaniard will not be the only one far from it, after a 2025 transfer window worth more than €500 million already last year. Despite all these investments, the season was particularly disappointing, without any trophy won, an elimination in the quarter-finals of the Champions League by PSG and above all a failed exercise in the Premier League resulting in a 5th place at the last minute for qualification in C1 next year.

Liverpool spent €40 million

It will be without Arne Slot, however. Despite winning a championship title a year earlier during his first season, the Dutchman paid the price for these poor results. He failed to properly integrate the numerous recruits, recruited at a high price like Florian Wirtz. The management of Mohamed Salah was also complicated. The Egyptian delayed extending last year before signing a new two-year contract. It was ultimately disappointing.

He too will leave to make way for new elements, such as Víctor Muñoz. The 22-year-old winger arrives after a convincing performance with Osasuna (36 matches, 7 goals, 5 assists). He committed for €40 million, and failed when he moved to Newcastle. It has long been announced on the side of the Magpies, who had taken a head start in this matter. He finally opted for the Reds, to the delight of his training club. Real Madrid recovers 50% of the transfer, or €20 million.
