AS Roma make move for €40m winger ‘attracted by Barcelona transfer’

The future of Victor Munoz is likely to be one of the talking points in Spain this summer, with the Osasuna winger enjoying a fine debut campaign in La Liga. The 22-year-old made his debut with La Roja last month, scoring in his first game, and has been impressive at El Sadar.

Munoz has attracted the interest of former club Barcelona, but there is also a suggestion that Real Madrid could look to bring him back to the Bernabeu. They have a 50% sell-on clause on Munoz, who has a €40m release clause at Osasuna, and a buyback option on Munoz, and the suggestion is that they would block any move to Barcelona.

Los Rojillo already turned down a €25m offer from Sunderland in January and is expected to have further Premier League interest. Munoz recently changed agents too, signing for a company with close links to Barcelona, which sparked further talk about his future.

AS Roma make move for Victor Munoz

Italian side AS Roma are the latest side to show interest in Munoz, and Jose Alvarez of El Chiringuito reports that they have already made an offer to Munoz on personal terms. The Giallorossi are willing to spend big on the pacy winger, and he mentions a hypothetical figure of €35m. The player himself is no rush to make a decision on his future.
