Newcastle eyes Victor Muñoz

According to AS, Newcastle United has sent an official bid to Osasuna for Victor Muñoz.

The 22-year-old winger has emerged as one of Newcastle’s top attacking targets, with negotiations now ongoing on both the club and player side.

Reportedly, Newcastle is close to signing Muñoz in a deal worth €35 million plus €5m in add-ons. That package would effectively cover the player’s €40m release clause, though the structure of the deal could make the operation more favorable from a financial point of view.

Real Madrid could still have an important role in the transfer. The Spanish giant kept 50% of Muñoz’s rights when he moved to Osasuna, while it also has a matching right and a buy-back clause.

Muñoz enjoyed an impressive season with Osasuna, scoring seven goals and registering five assists. His form also earned him a place in Spain’s World Cup squad, increasing interest in his future.

Newcastle is looking to strengthen its wide options, and Muñoz is seen as an ideal replacement for Gordon, after his transfer to Barcelona.
