footballBorn in Barcelona in 2003, Munoz joined La Masia at the age of 11. However, he left three years later and joined Real Madrid’s youth academy in 2021. He made his way to the Castilla squad, eventually making his debut for the senior side in 2025, replacing Vinicius Junior in a LaLiga match against Barcelona.
He represented Los Blancos in the FIFA Club World Cup, but left a month later for Osasuna in a deal worth five million euros.

He ended the season with 36 appearances across all competitions, scoring seven goals and registering five assists.
Primarily a left winger, he can also play on the right or through the middle. Apart from having a keen eye for goals, his best attributes are his rapid pace and dribbling skills. As a result, he was Iraola’s first signing at Liverpool.
His blistering pace, combined with his red-hot form for Osasuna, saw Luis de la Fuente call the youngster up for international duty in March. Munoz made his La Roja debut in a friendly against Serbia, scoring and helping his side secure a 3-0 win. He also played 45 minutes in the next friendly against Egypt.
As a result of his good performances, he was part of the 26-player Spanish squad for the FIFA World Cup 2026. Although he didn’t take part in the goalless draw against Cape Verde, he is expected to get more minutes in the upcoming matches in the tournament.
