According to a recent rumor from The Athletic, Osasuna winger Victor Munoz might return to Real Madrid this summer, with the club seriously contemplating triggering their buyout clause.
Munoz has been a star player for CA Osasuna this season, with six goals and five assists in all competitions.
When Munoz departed Santiago Bernabeu last summer for €5 million, Real Madrid included a repurchase provision that allowed them to re-sign him for the next three seasons.
If they move now, the transaction will cost roughly €8 million, which makes the operation quite appealing given his present trajectory.
What is the story?
According to the newspaper, Madrid prefers to give former youth players more time before considering a comeback.

The goal is to allow them complete growth without the Bernabeu’s pressure.
Munoz, on the other hand, is considered as an exception internally, since his development has sped quicker than predicted, and there is a growing belief inside the club that he can already contribute at a higher level.
At the same time, Barcelona is attentively monitoring the winger.
The Blaugrana see him as someone who might fill a position similar to what Marcus Rashford has done this season, but unlike Real Madrid, they have no contractual benefit.
This implies that any move from their end would necessitate a substantially larger expenditure, with his valuation likely to be about €40 million.
