Munoz primarily operates from the left wing but can also play on the right, giving Iraola another wide option during his first pre-season. That versatility was a defining feature of his time at Osasuna and could be important across a demanding campaign.
The reported fee would represent a major commitment to a player still establishing himself at international level. Munoz has made two appearances for Spain, and his involvement with the national team has raised his profile at a key point in his career.
He joined Osasuna last summer after leaving Real Madrid, having developed in Barcelona’s academy. A move to Anfield would therefore mark another significant step in a career that has already crossed three prominent Spanish development systems.
Munoz is currently with Spain at the World Cup in North America. He remained on the bench during the goalless draw with Cabo Verde, while Spain’s next fixtures include Saudi Arabia in Atlanta and Uruguay later this month.
Reports suggest Liverpool hope to complete his medical in the United States. That would allow the club to progress the transfer while Munoz remains with the national squad, although formal confirmation is still required.
The next decisive moment will be the medical and contract announcement. Until then, Liverpool’s reported move has changed the race, with Iraola potentially set to begin his Anfield era with a new wide threat rather than a Newcastle-bound target.
