With the World Cup in full swing, the club have been busy working on transfers, including a shock move for Osasuna's Munoz.The 22-year-old underwent his medical on Wednesday and has signed a six-year deal to become Iraola's first signing at Anfield, a move that caught many off guard. The Reds fought off multiple other clubs for his signature including Newcastle, Bayer Leverkusen, Manchester United and Real Madrid.They will pay the fee for Munoz across two instalments, with 50% of the winger's fee going to Real Madrid, who sold the player last summer.



Should that deal get wrapped up, then bolstering the midfield could be the next move.Bouaddi is another key target emerging from the World Cup and reports suggest Liverpool are already in talks with the player's agent. The 18-year-old performed at a level well beyond his years and is likely to be on the move from Lille this summer.Fabrizio Romano claimed the Reds have met with Bouaddi's agents on numerous occasions since the turn of the year and will face a battle for his signature.

In his club pursuits, the 18-year-old only registered one assist for Lille, but primarily plays his football just in front of the backline.This is a position the Reds will be keen to strengthen, with Ryan Gravenberch the only recognised option at the moment. Therefore, more ready-made players are a priority for Liverpool, and Bouaddi is the answer to Iraola's impending problem.Upgrade your World Cup TV setup with the Sky Glass 'designed for football'This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.
