- Real Madrid are reported to hold a buyback option of around €8m, which a direct release-clause payment could complicate or pre-empt.
- Muñoz joined Osasuna from Real Madrid last summer for about €5m and has impressed in his first months with the La Liga club.
- Outlets differ on his current output, with reports citing either three goals and one assist in 21 games or four goals and four assists across competitions.
- Coverage frames Tottenham’s pursuit as January-window urgency to strengthen up front, with no official confirmation from the clubs at this stage.
