🚨 Understand there’s NO buy back clause for Real Madrid in Víctor Muñoz to Liverpool deal.
Real have right of first refusal in case of future proposals (and received €20m from Osasuna), but even in that case the player has final say.
Muñoz, 100% #LFC player.
🚨💣 EXCLUSIVE: Liverpool are set to sign Víctor Muñoz with HIJACK done, HERE WE GO! 🔴🇪🇸
Newcastle in advanced talks for days but #LFC enter the deal, verbally agree terms with Muñoz and activate €40m release clause.
All set to be signed and another big surpise. 🧨
I can now exclusively reveal that Bayern Munich have suffered yet another crushing setback in what is rapidly turning into one of the most humiliating transfer windows in recent memory, with Vincent Kompany and Max Eberl investing days of discussions, presentations and persuasion attempts in an effort to convince Spanish talent Víctor Muñoz to move to Bavaria, only to find themselves facing yet another rejection despite aggressively pushing the project, a scenario that has become increasingly familiar for a club that once expected Europe’s brightest talents to answer the phone immediately whenever Bayern Munich came calling.
The rejection becomes even more damaging when considering that Muñoz would have preferred a move to Newcastle United over Bayern Munich, a choice that would have been almost unthinkable a decade ago but now serves as another uncomfortable reminder of how dramatically the landscape has shifted, with the Bundesliga’s ability to attract elite talents continuing to weaken while the Premier League tightens its grip on world football, leaving self-proclaimed giants Bayern Munich repeatedly forced into the role of spectators as target after target chooses a different path, and with every rejection the illusion that the Bayern badge remains one of football’s irresistible destinations continues to crumble before their eyes.
Interestingly enough, the race took a dramatic twist and was effectively buried the very moment newly appointed Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola entered discussions and informed the player that Liverpool Football Club wanted him, because Bayern Munich can offer trophies and Germany can offer domestic dominance, but Liverpool offers something entirely different, something that exists beyond contracts, salaries and sporting projects, a football cathedral standing beneath the grey skies of Merseyside where history breathes through every brick of Anfield, where generations of legends have walked the same tunnel, where the famous red shirt carries the weight of immortality, where You’ll Never Walk Alone echoes like a sacred hymn across the footballing universe, and where dreams are not merely promised but woven into the very identity of the club itself, leaving Bayern Munich once again watching from afar as another player looked towards those mythical Anfield lights, heard the call of one of football’s greatest institutions and immediately knew his future lay anywhere but Bavaria.
Manchester City have spent roughly £440m in transfer fees since 2025, including £100m+ on midfielders alone.
Now reports suggest they’re prepared to spend another £200m+ on Sandro Tonali and Elliot Anderson.
All while 115 charges remain unresolved.
Whatever your view of City, that’s a terrible look for the Premier League.

“If you get bitten, you have to go to the hospital. I don't think you'll die, but it's certainly dangerous. I have the feeling that if you step on a snake like that, it can end badly”.
