Newcastle United are in talks with Osasuna to sign Spain winger Victor Munoz as a replacement for Anthony Gordon, who joined Barcelona for £69.3m.
Munoz, 22, has a €40m (£34.5m) release clause and scored on his Spain debut against Serbia in March. He is preparing for Spain’s World Cup opener against Cape Verde on 15 June.

The Magpies have already signed goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen from Stade de Reims for £18.5m, signalling a shift toward younger continental talent. Head coach Eddie Howe stressed the need to act fast in the market, with Newcastle keen to secure Munoz before rival clubs move in.
