Liverpool activated Muñoz's £34.5 million release clause with Osasuna after Iraola's appointment accelerated the deal. Muñoz completed a medical in Atlanta on Wednesday while on international duty with Spain at the World Cup and signed a six-year contract.
Manchester United and Bayer Leverkusen also competed for the forward. Barcelona and Real Madrid shortlisted Muñoz at youth level but pursued alternative targets this summer.
The 22-year-old holds two Spain caps following his March debut and goal against Serbia. He was an unused substitute in Spain's Cape Verde draw. Muñoz's versatility across both wings and central striker positions aligns with Liverpool's summer recruitment strategy emphasizing pace.
