Newcastle United are reportedly turning their attention to Spain as they search for a replacement for departed winger Anthony Gordon this summer.
According to The Telegraph, the Magpies have identified 22-year-old Osasuna winger Victor Muñoz as a serious candidate to fill the gap left by Gordon.
Gordon has completed his move to Barcelona, leaving Newcastle with a significant hole in their attacking options heading into next season.
The departure of one of their most dangerous and consistent wide players has forced Eddie Howe to rethink his attacking plans considerably.
Newcastle are now actively exploring winger options, and Muñoz has emerged as a player valued at around £35m following an impressive season in La Liga.
Born in Barcelona, the 22-year-old left winger currently plays for CA Osasuna, where he is contracted until June 2030, giving the Spanish club significant leverage in any negotiation.
His market value is listed at €20m, though his strong performances in La Liga have drawn attention from clubs across Europe this summer.
Muñoz has also broken into the Spain national team setup, earning two caps and scoring once for his country, which highlights just how rapidly his reputation has grown.
That international recognition adds another layer to his profile, and his involvement with Spain during the World Cup period has only further raised his stock globally.
Newcastle United have a history of targeting players who are on the rise rather than established superstars, and Muñoz fits that model precisely.
He is described as quick, direct, and technically sharp, with the ability to carry the ball at pace from wide areas in much the same way Gordon did for the Magpies.
However, completing a deal for Muñoz will not be straightforward, with Osasuna holding him on a long-term contract and other clubs also monitoring his situation.
Reports in both Spain and England have suggested Real Madrid may retain some form of influence over his future, which could complicate Newcastle’s pursuit significantly.
Muñoz is not yet a household name in England, but all signs point to him being one of the more exciting wide players to emerge from La Liga in recent seasons.
Newcastle will need to move decisively if they are serious about landing the Spaniard, with competition for his signature expected to intensify as the summer transfer window progresses.
