Víctor Muñoz

[Mattoon]

There's a whole lot of sky falling in for a pretty mundane bit of news, sounds like an insurance policy and mostly just to keep him away from Barca, there's a lot more nuance to just Real deciding they want one of our players for a cut down price in a years time. It certainly feels like some people just want to be relentlessly negative about the club.

 

Wilson et al are no mugs, if it wasn't a deal worth doing, we wouldn't be doing it, simple as that, seriously not worth losing heads about.

The fee of the clause does matter a lot. I am fine if it’s something like 60m+. If it’s as low as 3-40m then I don’t think we should accept it. Even if the intention is just to block a transfer to Barca, if Munoz does have a huge break out here, Real Madrid would just active the clause to gain profits

I don't think anyone's "losing their heads"  More hyopthetical talk. More from some than others.

Perfect description

Buy back clause ain't worth shit when he comes in and plays like a left sided Elanga for Eddie's kick and rush mags. Knickers firmly untwisted.

[The Prophet]

From his club's local rag. Awaiting formal confirmation. Real will have a right of first refusal, rather than a buy back.

Osasuna awaits Newcastle's official offer for Víctor Muñoz

 

The sale of the winger depends on the English club validating Osasuna's position after the latest talks in a deal that will slightly exceed 30 million and will include variables.

 

The sale of Víctor Muñoz to Newcastle is nearing completion. All signs point to the winger's departure in the coming hours, based on ongoing discussions, but Osasuna still needs to receive an official written offer to finalize the deal.

 

This hadn't happened at least until yesterday afternoon, while the young footballer awaited further news while with the Spanish national team at the World Cup. He is not expected to play in today's opening match against Cape Verde because he is still recovering from a muscle injury.

 

The intermediary between the clubs is Juanma López , a former Atlético de Madrid player who works for the Niagara Sports Company agency, a firm that Víctor joined in recent months to look after his professional future.

 

So far, several exchanges have taken place leading to this final point of understanding, which will result in the formal submission of the offer and its subsequent acceptance. Newcastle targeted Víctor Muñoz to replace Gordon, who transferred to Barcelona, and made a verbal proposal that has been reviewed and revised by Newcastle over the past few days.

 

The situation has always been favorable, according to Juanma López, but we have to wait for Newcastle to accept Osasuna's latest offer and send the official document. Until that happens, the signing cannot be confirmed.

 

Despite this tremendous financial power, Osasuna is aware of its limitations and doesn't want to push its luck beyond what's possible. The fee being discussed is a fixed amount slightly above €30 million, plus add-ons. They are also debating who will pay the solidarity mechanism (training compensation) since it's an international transfer. This will be 5% added to the cost of the deal, as stipulated by FIFA.

 

Once Osasuna receives the official offer, their contractual obligation is to forward it to Real Madrid , who will then have 48 hours to decide whether or not to re-sign him. In the preceding days, the Madrid club has already verbally informed Osasuna that they will not be exercising this option, but until there is written confirmation, nothing can be taken for granted.

 

If Osasuna buys him back, which seems unlikely, their net profit would be €2 million (after deducting the transfer fee paid in 2025). If they don't, as seems likely, Real Madrid will receive 50% of the fee paid to Newcastle. Osasuna would then receive just over €15 million , making it the biggest sale in their history, surpassing Raúl García's €13 million transfer to Atlético Madrid in 2007.

 

Leaving aside the Osasuna situation, the newspaper AS reported yesterday that the agreement includes a provision allowing Real Madrid to retain a buy-back option for the striker while he is at Newcastle. However, sources close to the deal indicated yesterday that the right Real Madrid will retain is a right of first refusal. In other words, they will be able to match any future offer for the player.

Newcastle A1 tier journalist Lee Ryder now reporting on the buyback clause FWIW, saying that we have no issue with there being a buyback clause included.

It's fine as long as it's a decent amount mind. Does make is look like a little bro feeder club but we are in reality. 

[GeordieDazzler]

So basically like what City did to us and over Trafford? Fine with that tbh

Makes much more sense 

[TBG]

Wouldn't be surprised if Ryder was brought in to negotiate the clause. 

 

He's smashing it this summer.

Makes sense with Nickson off to West Ham. 

[Wilson]

If its first refusal/match some cunt else's bid similar to city and Trafford, it's fine. 

 

If it's 'we can buy him on the cheap if he comes good' then it's not so fine, doubt that's the case though. 

 

Just get to done regardless please and thank you. 

[GeordieDazzler]

It seems like they just want to ensure against him going to Barca

Seeing as we're pals and do efficient business with Barcelona now does that mean we could do the old Eni Aluko and ask them to bid daft money for him if and when he's away as a means to bait Real?

How Real’s interference feels

Is a buy back not the same thing Man City had with Trafford. If the player is not up for sale then it matters not. If however we decide to flip him in 12 month Real Madrid can get him at the set £30m fee.

[GeordieDazzler]

It’s not that though, they simply must be given the chance to match any fee we agree with someone else.

He's the "move on" police around here.

 

As you say, let's if there is a clause and what it is.

 

Police is strong. I'd say I'm a move on enthusiast.

[Skeletor]

If its for one year and simply a case that Real get invited to match a bid, then it might actually work in our favour as no-one will buy him knowing that a bid will trigger him going to Madrid instead.

[Abacus]

Good point. I couldn't see the issue with it anyway assuming it's just the option to match a bid. 

 

If it is linked to a value and effectively a release clause then so be it, especially if it's not too low since he'll have had to play well enough to earn it anyway. We just go again should it be activated.

 

And equally, there may be nothing to it at all, so I'm not going to worry and look forward to whether he signs and then seeing if he's actually any good in the PL.

[Menace]

It'll also encourage him to perform knowing the clause runs out I guess 

[Wilson]

I still find it fuckin mental how we're trying to buy him from ososuna but need Real Madrids blessing and they're also allowed to add a clause to the deal

 

Everything just feels so rigged now.
