22-year-old Victor Munoz left Real Madrid last summer with no prospect of playing time in more than the four games he was on the pitch for the senior team. At Osasuna, who paid around 5 million euros for Munoz, development has taken off. A player Newcastle really wanted, but this week it was reported that Liverpool are not only showing interest in the 22-year-old, but are just as well buying the signing of their Premier League rival. On Thursday, the confirmation came. Unfortunately, the 22-year-old had a particularly bad celebration of his signing with one of the world’s best clubs.

The now former Osasuna player is part of Spain’s World Cup squad, but has followed an individual program until the championship. This is due to a minor injury he sustained before leaving the United States. This week, Munoz was back in training with the rest of the team, was clapped in as a Liverpool player – and was ready to show off in the World Cup.
