Born in Villafranca, Navarre, Muñoz joined CA Osasuna's youth setup in 2018, from CD Oberena.[1] On 9 April of the following year, he renewed his contract until 2021.[2]

Muñoz made his senior debut with the reserves on 30 November 2019, coming on as a late substitute for goalscorer Aimar Oroz in a 3–1 Segunda División B home win over Deportivo Alavés B.[3] Definitely promoted to the B-side ahead of the 2021–22 season, he scored his first goal on 16 October 2021, netting the B's second in a 2–2 home draw against Racing Rioja CF.[4]

On 30 December 2022, Muñoz further extended his link until 2025.[5] He made his first team – and La Liga – debut the following 12 February, replacing Lucas Torró in a 0–0 away draw against Real Valladolid.[6][7]

Muñoz scored his first professional goal on 17 September 2023, netting the equalizer in a 3–2 away loss to Getafe CF.
