Liverpool has finalized the acquisition of Spain international Víctor Muñoz from Osasuna.
The 22-year-old forward has signed a six-year deal at Anfield and becomes the first signing of head coach Andoni Iraola.
Sources indicate that Iraola’s team successfully outbid Newcastle United for Munoz, who had a €40 million ($46m) release clause.
With the departure of Mohamed Salah from Anfield, Liverpool sought new talent in wide positions this summer, opting to sign a player familiar with their new coach Iraola.
Muñoz previously played as a youth for Barcelona and Real Madrid, making four appearances in the Spanish capital before joining Osasuna.
He is part of the Spain squad competing in this summer’s World Cup.
