Osasuna Completes Record 40 Million Euro Transfer of Víctor Muñoz to Liverpool

Osasuna has completed the most expensive transfer in the club's history, selling winger Víctor Muñoz to Liverpool for 40 million euros. The deal, which triggers the Spanish club's release clause, surpasses the previous record of 13 million euros paid by Atlético Madrid for Raúl García Escudero in 2007. Muñoz's transfer is expected to generate approximately 20 million euros in net revenue for Osasuna, with the club having acquired the player for 5 million euros last summer plus additional variables that have since been activated, resulting in a profit of around 14 million euros.

During his single season at Osasuna, the international winger made an impact with 7 goals and 6 assists across 36 competitive matches in La Liga and the Copa del Rey. His departure significantly reshapes Osasuna's transfer record rankings. The sale displaces several notable previous transactions, including the 2024 sale of David García to Al-Rayyan for 8.75 million euros, which drops out of the top three entirely. Jesús Areso's 2025 transfer to Athletic Bilbao for 12 million euros now ranks third, while Álex Berenguer's 2017 move to Torino for 7 million euros falls to fifth place. Defenders Nacho Monreal and César Azpilicueta, who departed for Málaga and Olympique Marseille respectively for 6 million euros each in 2011 and 2010, now share sixth position.

The Muñoz transfer represents a significant commercial success for the Navarre club, cementing Liverpool's continued investment in young European talent while providing Osasuna with substantial financial resources for squad reinforcement.
