Newcastle set to beat Man Utd to winger signing

Newcastle United are poised to beat Manchester United to the signing of Victor Munoz from Osasuna this summer, according to AS.

The Magpies recently sold Anthony Gordon to Barcelona for £70m and they are determined to land a new solution on the left wing soon.

Munoz has been earmarked as the prime target and talks are ongoing with Osasuna to negotiate a suitable fee for his summer transfer.

Man Utd have also enquired about the player, but the Spaniard has turned down the proposal as he is expected to prioritise playing time.

Osasuna want the attacker's £35m release clause to be paid, but Newcastle believe they can strike an agreement for around £26m.

Talks are ongoing behind the scenes to find a suitable agreement. If a deal goes through, Madrid will receive 50 percent of the fee.

Meanwhile, Madrid are also expected to have a three-way agreement and they will retain a buy-back clause for the player next year.
