Note
Given his recent statistics at Getafe—where he made 20 appearances in the 2025 season but started only 7 matches—Muñoz Jiménez may be brought in to offer depth and rotation options rather than immediate starting status. His ability to win duels (47% success rate) and complete dribbles (70% success rate) could be valuable in a system that relies on quick transitions and midfield pressing.

Javier Muñoz Jiménez brings valuable experience and physical presence to Almeria's midfield. While not a prolific scorer or creator, his ability to win duels, complete dribbles, and maintain decent pass accuracy makes him a reliable squad option. His recent muscle injury (2025-09-13 to 2025-09-18) is unlikely to affect his availability for the upcoming season, as he is now fully recovered. Almeria will hope his experience in Spanish football can help stabilize their midfield and provide competition for starting positions.
