Newcastle Tables Bid for Anthony Gordon's Replacement from Spain

Newcastle United has reportedly submitted a £35 million bid for Osasuna's Spanish winger, Victor Muñoz, according to “El Chiringuito.” The Magpies, having recently parted ways with Anthony Gordon, are urgently seeking to bolster their flanks. Victor Muñoz enjoyed a very strong campaign with the Pamplona-based side, who narrowly avoided relegation on the final day. The winger registered a total of seven goals and five assists in 36 appearances across all competitions. His impressive form even earned him a call-up to the Spanish national team for the upcoming World Cup in the USA, Mexico, and Canada.

This stellar performance attracted the attention of several major clubs, with Muñoz even being linked to a move to Barcelona at one point. However, the Catalan giants ultimately opted for Gordon, a decision that now seemingly paves the way for Victor Muñoz to join Newcastle at St. James' Park. The winger is currently valued at approximately €20 million, but Newcastle is keen to finalize the deal as quickly as possible to avoid further complications in finding a replacement for Alexander Isak, who moved to Liverpool after a protracted transfer saga.
