Victor Munoz has penned a six-year deal to become the first signing of the Andoni Iraola era at Liverpool<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Spain international joins, subject to a work permit, from Osasuna after the Reds nudged ahead<\/a> of Newcastle United and triggered his release clause, which stood just shy of \u00a335m.<\/p>\n Munoz <\/a>was also being tracked by Bayer Leverkusen and Manchester United while Real Madrid briefly explored bringing him back to the Spanish capital after selling him to Osasuna last summer.<\/p>\n But it\u2019s Iraola\u2019s <\/a>Reds who Munoz will join once the World Cup concludes after a delegation from Anfield<\/a> flew in to the United States, where are Spain are based, to complete a medical on Wednesday.<\/p>\n The procedure was undertaken in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where Spain are currently training. Munoz was not involved for the European champions as they began their World Cup campaign with a goalless draw with minnow Cape Verde on Monday night.<\/p>\n The 20-time champions stepped up their interest in Munoz after early talks between Iraola and the club’s recruitment staff, with the Reds boss keen to explore a potential deal due to his admiration for the former Real Madrid youngster.<\/p>\n Liverpool will pay the fee across two instalments and the versatile Munoz is set to add depth to a forward line that lost Mohamed Salah<\/a> at the end of the campaign and will be without Hugo Ekitike for the foreseeable future after a ruptured Achilles.<\/p>\n
