Newcastle pursue Victor Munoz to replace Anthony Gordon

Summary

Newcastle United is reportedly leading the race to sign Victor Munoz from Osasuna following Anthony Gordon's transfer to Barcelona. Munoz, a 22-year-old winger, has gained attention after a strong season with Osasuna and earned a call-up to Spain's national team, scoring on his debut. Newcastle sees Munoz as a suitable replacement for Gordon on the right flank. However, Real Madrid retains a buy-back option on Munoz, which could complicate Newcastle's pursuit if the Spanish giants choose to intervene. Aston Villa is also interested in Munoz, with Osasuna reportedly preferring offers from clubs outside Spain.
