Reports Say Real Madrid Plan €8 Million Buy-Back for Víctor Muñoz

Overview

• Reports published Monday say Real Madrid plan to trigger the €8 million clause this summer and bring Víctor Muñoz in for pre-season, though the club has not announced a final decision.
• Osasuna sporting director Braulio Vázquez has confirmed that Real Madrid hold a buy-back option for the first years of Muñoz’s contract.
• Real Madrid still own half of the player’s rights, and Muñoz’s Osasuna deal carries a €40 million release clause that would send 50% of any fee back to Madrid.
• A report says Muñoz has ruled out a Barcelona return because of how his earlier spell at La Masia ended, narrowing his likely path to a Madrid comeback.
• Muñoz has broken out this season with 6 goals and 5 assists in 31 games for Osasuna, scored on his Spain debut last week, and drew bids Osasuna rejected, including a reported €25 million offer from Sunderland.
