Newcastle United have identified Osasuna winger Victor Munoz as a priority signing as they plan their attacking rebuild ahead of next season. The 22‑year‑old has been monitored for months and is viewed as the ideal replacement should Anthony Gordon leave St James’ Park. Munoz’s breakout year in La Liga, featuring seven goals and five assists in 36 matches, has elevated his profile across Europe and earned him a place in Spain’s squad for the 2026 World Cup.
His versatility and ability to operate in multiple forward roles make him a strong tactical fit for Eddie Howe’s high‑intensity approach. However, Real Madrid still retain influence over his future, having inserted a buy‑back clause, first‑refusal rights and a sell‑on percentage when he joined Osasuna last summer.
With Madrid unlikely to activate their option, Newcastle appear well positioned to move, though negotiations will depend on outgoing transfers and broader squad planning.
