SIMON JONES: Liverpool have had an £86million bid for Yan Diomande rejected after a frantic day in which they made Osasuna winger Victor Munoz the first signing of the Andoni Iraola era. It had been anticipated that Liverpool would back their new head coach in the transfer market and they made clear their intentions late on Wednesday when they hijacked Newcastle's quest to land Munoz and swiftly concluded a £34.5 million deal to bring the Spain international to Anfield. Munoz was given permission by the Spanish Football Federation to undergo a medical after Liverpool sent their own staff to the United States to complete the tests. Once the formalities of securing a work permit are concluded‚ the 22-year-old will commit to a contract that runs to June 2032.
