Club career

Born in Málaga, Andalusia, Muñoz joined Málaga CF's youth setup in 2010, after representing 26 de Febrero CD (two stints), CD Puerto Malagueño Guimbarda Iberia and La Mosca UD. He made his senior debut with the reserves on 20 September 2015, playing the full 90 minutes in a 2–2 Tercera División away draw against Loja CD.

On 26 September 2016, Muñoz signed his first professional contract running until 2020.[1] On 16 October he scored his first senior goal, netting his team's sixth through a penalty in a 7–0 home routing of Alhaurín de la Torre CF.

Muñoz made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 21 November 2016, coming on as a second half substitute for fellow youth graduate Javier Ontiveros in a 0–0 away against FC Barcelona.[2]
