Spanish soccer giant Real Madrid has sold one of its first team squad members as confirmed by the club in an official statement, as well as the buying party.
'Real Madrid CF and CA Osasuna have reached an agreement for the transfer of our player Víctor Munoz,' correspondence from Madrid began.
"Victor Munoz arrived at our club's youth academy in 2021 at the age of 18. Since then, he has played in the Juvenil A, RSC Internacional and, the last two seasons, in Castilla. He made his debut in May 2025 with Real Madrid's first team.
The club thanks him for his work, dedication and commitment, and wishes him and his family the best of luck in this new stage of his life," it then conclude.
In its own statement, Osasuna said that 'the Navarrese club will pay €5,000,000 for fifty percent of his economic rights, to which an additional million could be added depending on the player's sporting milestones'.
Osasuna further explained that the attacker's release clause will be €40 million, with Madrid also reserving 'a buyback option on the player at the conclusion of the next three seasons'.
'The footballer, who has recently concluded his participation in the Club World Cup, will join the Osasuna discipline on July 22. Upon his arrival, he will be presented as a new player of the entity,' the Basques added.
Regarding the buyback clause, this increases the likelihood of the Catalan being able to complete what is known as the 'Carvajal route', i.e. being sold as graduate of La Fabrica and then being brought to the first team should the player in question kick on away from the Bernabeu.
At the end of last season, Victor Munoz coming off the bench in El Clasico and almost scoring against FC Barcelona in Montjuic showed that he might have a future in the post-Carlo Ancelotti era.
Just a few months, however, he has been moved on yet might have a way back to the Spanish capital if he can impress in Pamplona.
New candidates emerged in Munoz's way at Real Madrid
While Munoz was chosen to come off the bench instead of Rodrygo in the mentioned Clasico, fellow academy graduate Gonzalo Garcia emerged in the Club World Cup. Though originally a central 9, his deployment on the right wing in the 4-0 humbling to Paris Saint-Germain, to accommodate both Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr., would have further complicated Munoz's battle for minutes at Real Madrid.
