Liverpool have completed the signing of 22‑year‑old Spanish winger Victor Munoz from Osasuna, activating his €40m release clause. The player, who is in Spain’s World Cup squad, will join on a six‑year contract and travel to the United States for his medical on Wednesday, bringing pace and defensive work‑rate to Jurgen Klopp's evolving side.

An offer of roughly 100m euros has been tabled to RB Leipzig for 19‑year‑old winger Yan Diomande, also featuring at the World Cup for Ivory Coast. Leipzig demand more and have signalled no desire to sell before the tournament ends. Liverpool stand ready to raise it if Diomande repeats his Bundesliga output of 12 goals and eight assists, prompting a potential bid above €130m.

Munoz arrives as Liverpool look to replace Mohamed Salah’s departed goal threat, adding width alongside Cody Gakpo and Rio Ngumoha. His La Masia pedigree and ability to operate on either flank give Iraola tactical flexibility, while Diomande remains a contingency should his World Cup form justify a larger fee, signaling intent to revamp attack.
