While the first video remained unconfirmed and only fuelled speculation, it did not take long before the club provided official confirmation.Liverpool later shared footage on X showing Muñoz inside the AXA Training Centre dressed in full Liverpool training kit as he was welcomed by staff and shown around his new surroundings.

The Spaniard had not been due back until around August 10, making his early arrival another encouraging sign of his attitude.With fellow World Cup finalist Alexis Mac Allister still yet to report back amid continued speculation surrounding his future, Muñoz has been given a valuable head start as Liverpool continue preparations for the new campaign.Comfortable operating anywhere across the front three, Muñoz is at his most dangerous from wide areas.

Capable of stretching defences, driving into space and creating chances in transition, the Spaniard possesses the profile Iraola values in his attacking players and could quickly establish himself as an important part of the new-look forward line.Supporters can now expect the club to host a media day in the coming days, with an official unveiling, announcement video and confirmation of his squad number all expected before the new season gets underway.His early return could also accelerate his on-field debut. Iraola has made no secret of his desire to add greater pace, versatility and depth in forward areas, with Muñoz viewed as a player capable of becoming a key figure in that rebuild.The initial social media footage may only have sparked speculation, but Liverpool's own video confirmed exactly what supporters had hoped to see.
