Liverpool have signed Víctor Muñoz from CA Osasuna for €40m in June, after hijacking the deal from Newcastle United.
Real Madrid had retained 50% of the winger’s rights and his sale to Liverpool resulted in a financial windfall.
The Premier League side continue to search the Spanish market and have found another former Real Madrid player as a target.
Another attacking target for Liverpool
The Reds have now set their sights on UD Almería star Sergio Arribas, described as a goal machine by his own club. That’s according to Ideal, who cover the latest on the Anfield club’s interest in the attacking midfielder.
He came up through the ranks of Real Madrid’s academy and made his way into their first team in 2020. However, the Spaniard struggled to cement a place and the La Liga side sold him to Segunda División in August 2023.
The 24-year-old has enjoyed regular game time and even starred for Almería, managing 44 goals and 16 assists. This includes 26 goals and seven assists from 47 matches last season.
In April, Sport Witness relayed news that Sunderland could make a move. Sporting have followed the player for some time and are considering signing him this summer.
The Merseyside club’s directors are looking for players who can make an impact and can develop further. Arribas would fit their requirements perfectly, and Liverpool want to snatch him from the Segunda División side.
Andoni Iraola’s side have now entered the race, and this ‘intensifies the competition for a player whose value has grown exponentially thanks to his performance last season’.
The Reds haven’t made further advances, as Almería haven’t received any formal offers so far.
Real Madrid retain huge sell-on clause
The La Liga giants could keep an eye on the growing interest in Sergio Arribas as they retain 50% of his rights.
Almería are aware the attacker’s impressive performances have attracted interest from other clubs. They may not stop his sale if there are concrete advances from one of his suitors.
With Liverpool entering the race, there could be developments in the coming weeks.
Ideal makes no mention of the price or the Spanish club’s request. He has a contract until 2029, and Transfermarkt value him at €20m. There’s been a €12m rise in his value since June 2025.
