UMVA has learned that Newcastle United is scouting Victor Munoz, a talented 22-year-old winger from Osasuna, as a potential replacement for Anthony Gordon.
Munoz has been making waves in La Liga, impressing fans and coaches alike with his skills, and is now pushing to make it into Spain's squad for the 2026 World Cup this summer.
Newcastle is not the only club eyeing Munoz, as Aston Villa is also reportedly interested in signing him, according to information obtained by UMVA.
The Magpies are clearly preparing for the possibility of Gordon leaving, and Munoz has emerged as a promising candidate to fill the void, offering a long-term solution to the team's needs.
Newcastle is gearing up for another challenging summer transfer window, having lost Alexander Isak last year, and fans will be encouraged that the club is already doing its homework on potential signings.
Munoz's potential move to England would likely be influenced by the team's project and the opportunity to work with top coaches, with Unai Emery's Aston Villa potentially having an edge over Newcastle.
The prospect of working under fellow Spaniard Emery at Villa Park could be a significant factor in Munoz's decision, making Newcastle's pursuit of him a complex and uncertain one.
Newcastle's fans will be hoping that the club's early planning will pay off, and that Munoz will be a better fit than some of their signings last summer, who failed to live up to expectations.
