🚨 Newcastle thought they had a deal in place for Victor Muñoz — before a late Liverpool hijack.
✔️ 💰 Newcastle had a fee of £29m (+£4.3m) ACCEPTED by Osasuna and the player had AGREED personal terms and told #NUFC he wanted to sign. Agent fees were also agreed.
👨🏻⚕️ Newcastle had the wheels in motion for a medical over in the US and were on the verge of completing a deal.
😐 But they were instructed to wait over the last 24 hours by the player's representatives, and #LFC swooped.
🔴 Liverpool had always been at the table for Muñoz so they didn't come in last minute, but agreed £34.5m release clause (two instalments) and Muñoz chose Anfield.
🤷🏽♂️ Newcastle now trying to get to the bottom of what happened in the last 24 hours, but there was always top competition for the winger last few weeks.
🚨💣 Andoni Iraola, set to become the next Liverpool manager as revealed earlier today!
The negotiations will move forward quickly to get it done with formal steps but #LFC decision made…
…Iraola will be the next manager. 🛑🔜
🚨🇦🇹 Oliver Glasner will meet AC Milan early next week, likely on Tuesday with club in talks to find new manager.
Deal was never advanced with Andoni Iraola despite reports as he was waiting for Liverpool call.

@OluwafemiH_@FabrizioRomano ...He doesn't seem to have the mentality needed to create winners which you can see from his press conferences . The players also don't seem to like him and he is not exactly a liverpool type of coach . Time will prove that eye test os more authentic than data in this
@OluwafemiH_@FabrizioRomano Don't get me wrong , I am not trying to down play the role of Slot but I am also trying to say that it is not totally because of him . 2ndly, agitation for him to leave is not just because of results. He doesn't seem to have have a plan . You can even see it from the recruitment
