Liverpool have officially presented Victor Munoz as their new forward, completing the first signing of the Andoni Iraola era at Anfield. The Spain international, a World Cup winner this summer, has joined from Osasuna after the Reds triggered his €40 million release clause and formalised the permanent transfer.
Munoz arrives with a medal and momentum. The 23-year-old left winger helped Spain to glory at the 2026 World Cup before reporting to Merseyside, and he has wasted no time settling in: he cut his post-tournament break short to start work with Iraola's squad, taking part in his first training session with his new team-mates this week.
"It was an unforgettable experience out there at the World Cup. It was something I had dreamed of from a very young age and to be honest, something I never thought I would experience in my life" Munoz said in his opening interview as a Liverpool player. His message was clear: that chapter is closed, and his focus is firmly on the Reds.
Munoz came through at Real Madrid before joining Osasuna, where he delivered an eye-catching 2025-26 campaign — 34 appearances, seven goals and five assists — that made him one of LaLiga's most coveted wide players. Liverpool agreed a deal in June, beating Newcastle United to his signature, and paid the reported €40 million clause in full.
The 23-year-old becomes the centrepiece of a new attacking picture under Iraola, who has shaped Liverpool's summer business around young, versatile talent. Munoz is expected to compete for minutes on the left flank immediately, with the new Premier League season fast approaching.
For Liverpool, the presentation closes a pursuit that stretched across the summer. For Munoz, it marks the start of the next chapter: the World Cup medal goes in the bag, but his mind is already on Anfield.
