Premier League
Víctor Muñoz has become one of the best signings for Liverpool, as evidenced by his goal in the 1-2 victory against Brentford. The 23-year-old Spanish winger, signed last summer for 40 million euros from Osasuna, is living up to the trust of Andoni Iraola and starting to earn recognition from the Anfield fans.
His arrival, completed on June 18, 2026, was one of the first decisions made by the Spanish coach upon taking charge of the English team. Just four months later, Muñoz is proving he can play a significant role in the team's offensive rebuilding following Mohamed Salah's departure.

Víctor Muñoz wins over Liverpool fans
A recent example of his adaptation came against Brentford. Víctor Muñoz scored one of the two goals that allowed the team to come from behind and secure three points after initially falling behind.
His performance was notable due to the match circumstances. Injuries forced positional changes, leading Muñoz to fill in as a right back for part of the game, while also contributing offensively.
Liverpool supporters are beginning to acknowledge his talents. As reported by MARCA, several fans praised his work rate, speed, and ability to unsettle opposing defenders.
One fan specifically praised his signing, while another noted following his performances in Spain and how his form in England was surpassing expectations. Víctor Muñoz is causing a sensation in the Premier League.
Competition in the attack is strong, with players like Alexander Isak, Bradley Barcola, and Cody Gakpo, but the Spaniard is finding opportunities to feature in the coach's plans.
Andoni Iraola's 40 million euro signing gamble
Víctor Muñoz's arrival was part of a deal completed during the previous summer transfer window. The English club paid the 40 million euros corresponding to his release clause and offered him a contract until June 2032.
Real Madrid, who owned 50% of his economic rights while he was at Osasuna, received around 20 million euros from the transfer. The other 20 million went to the Navarrese club.
His signing followed a season in LaLiga where he played 34 matches, scored seven goals, and provided five assists. These figures also earned him a debut with the Spanish national team and participation in the 2026 World Cup.
Andoni Iraola found in Muñoz a player capable of operating on both flanks of the attack. His speed in attacking spaces and dribbling ability align with a style that demands constant involvement from wingers.
Premier League discovers a new version of Víctor Muñoz
The Spaniard arrived in England after going through the youth systems of Barcelona and Real Madrid, with his professional breakthrough coming at Osasuna.
Mohamed Salah's departure to Trabzonspor left the team without one of its key attacking figures. While Muñoz wasn't a direct replacement for the Egyptian, his signing expanded the team's options on the wings.
Now, he must maintain his form during a season where Liverpool competes in both the Premier League and the Champions League.
The next challenge for Víctor Muñoz will be to secure his spot in Iraola's starting lineup. His ability to switch between offensive and defensive roles could become crucial if the physical issues that affected the team against Brentford persist.
