The Blaugrana’s search for reinforcements in the broad areas has encountered a major obstacle, according to a report by Barca Universal. According to reports, rising Osasuna winger and former academy prospect Victor Muñoz has ruled out going back to Camp Nou.
Muñoz’s reluctance to return to his old team is more likely a result of the bitterness left by his first departure from Catalonia than it is of his later connections with Real Madrid.
At the age of 14, Muñoz attended Barcelona’s renowned La Masia, but his time there was brief. After leaving the team in 2017 and relocating to Damm, he eventually joined Real Madrid’s academy in 2021, which turned out to be a pivotal moment in his career.
According to journalist Xavi Espinosa, the player’s present decision-making is still greatly influenced by the particular circumstances surrounding his departure from Barcelona years ago.
The structure of Muñoz’s current contract at Osasuna makes a deal for Barcelona all but impossible, even if he were amenable to a return. The paper identifies a number of significant challenges:
Los Blancos have a buy-back option worth about €8 million and still own half of Muñoz’s rights.
A move back to Real Madrid is thought to be significantly more likely than a move to Barcelona given the financial situation.
Since joining Osasuna last year, Muñoz has quickly adjusted to elite football, emerging as one of La Liga’s most watched young wingers.
