While Víctor Muñoz is immersed in a World Cup that has just begun and could be a great showcase for him, his agent and Osasuna , according to sources close to the club who spoke to AS, are negotiating his transfer to Newcastle . The agreement could be finalized imminently. There are still a few details to be ironed out . Although the Catalan player's release clause is €40 million, the English club would pay just over €30 million for his transfer, plus performance-related bonuses . Both his agent and Osasuna are negotiating to increase the fixed and variable amount , as well as the payment method. Osasuna would receive 50% of the total transfer fee, and Real Madrid the other 50% .

I don't think £60M for 2 keepers that could potentially hold down the position for 12+ years is a lot tbh.

From a legal perspective - how could he even do that?

Creased

He's a very limited winger and unfortunately the game has moved on from a "tricky winger" now days. Managers demand so much more from wingers.

We'll have no one in the box for him to cross to anyway

But Tino made the squad, the argument doesn't even make sense.

Sack him.

When will you stop typing in third person, Luke?

"You happy with that pal?" ""

We'd gone 2 weeks without the wages and PSR conversation - thought it was getting stale. You're welcome.

To think we potentially have 2 midfielders that came through our academy that are/will be worth £100m each. Imagine when we actually get a new training ground and a new academy - could be the difference between closing the gap. Look how many players City have had come through their academy in recent years.

To think he barely played for us is even wilder

Sounds like a personal matter if anything

Just waiting for Froggy to do mental gymnastics regarding Sancho fee and how actually Man Red profited from the transfer

80 games missed I'm alright, ta.

Been pretty poor for Arsenal and he's been injured a hell of a long time. Not for me but would probably be do well for a team that plays around him.

Hopefully a better keeper than he is with the clippers.

Hope he's a success, fee seems reasonable considering how bonkers the market is now days.

Double edged sword really, good player but his wages will throw clubs off and rightly so. He was very good for Barca, although I can see why they're not willing to give him a multi year contract with his wages and his age.

That makes a lot more sense.

Riddle me this - if Madrid's buy back is indeed 8M euros and he's expected to be sold for 35M+... why wouldn't they?

So basically told Barca to focus on other targets and now have an unhappy player on their hands. Epic stunt lads.

I've read a lot about him since he left us, how he helped players dealing with depression and genuinely seemed to care. Fair play Matt, all the best in the next step in your career.
