Real Madrid Confidencial Xabi Alonso and Arbeloa must make a key decision for La Fábrica's great gem
Víctor Muñoz has several La Liga clubs interested in him, such as Alavés, Getafe, and Rayo, and he could leave in search of playing time
Víctor Muñoz is one of the standout names of the summer in Valdebebas. The young winger has been one of Castilla's biggest sensations this season. Now his future is hanging in the air.
The player has a contract with Real Madrid until 2026. However, several La Liga clubs have already shown interest in him. Among them, Alavés, Getafe, and Rayo Vallecano. In addition, a German club has also inquired about his situation.
Brilliant season and many offers
Víctor has had a spectacular season with Raúl's team. He has gone from being a substitute to becoming a key piece for both Juvenil and Castilla. This year he has scored 11 goals and provided 7 assists.
He has also stood out for his physical strength, speed, and ability to unbalance opponents. He has been the second player with the most successful dribbles in all of Primera RFEF. On several occasions, he has surpassed 22.4 mph (36 km/h) in sprints.
That performance has opened the doors to the first team for him. Carlo Ancelotti gave him his debut at Montjuïc against Barça. Later, he was drafted again for the match against Sevilla. Despite initial nerves and criticism, the club has shown complete trust in his talent.
Xabi and Arbeloa must decide
With Xabi Alonso's arrival on the first team's bench, a new era is beginning. The Basque coach will evaluate several academy players this summer. Among them is Víctor. He could even be on the list for the Club World Cup if his future isn't solved beforehand.
The club's position is clear. They don't want to close the door to a departure, but they want to keep control. That's why the preferred formula is to keep 50% of the rights, as has already been done with other talents from La Fábrica. This way, Real Madrid could bring the player back if he excels at his new destination.
Víctor Muñoz faces decisive weeks ahead. On Monday, he will return to training with the first team and will be observed by Xabi. Meanwhile, the interested clubs keep pushing. The final decision will be made soon. It won't be easy.
