The rise of Victor Munoz has all the hallmarks of a cinematic script. Having developed within the ranks of La Masia between 2014 and 2017, he departed Barca as a teenager before eventually joining Real Madrid in 2021. In a twist of fate, he made his professional debut for the 'Merengues' against FC Barcelona in May 2025.

Currently at Osasuna to gain vital first-team experience, the Barcelona native has far exceeded expectations. He has registered six goals and five assists across all competitions this term, a run of form that earned him a senior Spanish national team debut last month, which he marked with a goal.

According to 'The Athletic', Blaugrana sporting director Deco has identified Munoz as a primary attacking priority for the upcoming summer window. Following the decision not to trigger the purchase option for Marcus Rashford, Barca are scouring the market for wing reinforcements and view the former La Masia academy graduate as the ideal profile.

The prospect of a return to Catalonia is bolstered by the presence of familiar faces; at Barca, Munoz would be reunited with former La Masia colleague Alejandro Balde and close friend Lamine Yamal. Those within the player's inner circle believe Barcelona would offer a clearer path to playing time, whereas Real Madrid would present him with fierce competition for a starting spot.

However, Real Madrid still hold the cards. The 'Merengues' retained a buy-back clause of approximately 8 million euros—a figure significantly lower than his current market value—which remains valid for another three seasons. It is a cut-price option the capital club is seriously considering triggering, if only to thwart their rivals' plans.

While Real Madrid do not often bring back a player after just one season, Munoz is proving to be an exception to the rule. Highly regarded by the hierarchy at the Bernabeu, he is also considered a strong contender for a place in Spain's World Cup squad.
