FC Barcelona is considering the addition of Daniel Muñoz, a 30-year-old right-back from Crystal Palace, during this summer transfer window. The Colombian is the new request from Hansi Flick for Barcelona's defensive rotation.

The Catalan club is looking to sign the Colombian international before the window closes for an amount close to €30 million, directly competing with Chelsea for the player's transfer.

The Request from Hansi Flick for FC Barcelona's Defense

As reported by CaughtOffside, coach Hansi Flick has requested the arrival of a right specialist full-back to compete for a starting position with Jules Koundé. While players like Eric García or Ronald Araujo have covered that position sporadically, the Barcelona sports management prefers to add a native specialist to the position.

Muñoz, who became champion of the last Conference League by defeating Rayo Vallecano in the final, has a valid contract with Crystal Palace until June 2028. The Selhurst Park board does not intend to part with the Colombian for an amount lower than €30 million, a starting point for negotiations.

Competition with Chelsea for the Crystal Palace Full-Back

Chelsea is also closely monitoring the situation of the 30-year-old player to cover the possible departure of Malo Gusto from Stamford Bridge. The London team is progressing in the Premier League after reaching an agreement for Maxence Lacroix valued at £52 million.

The financial strength of the Blues represents the main obstacle for Barcelona's board. With the demand of €30 million set in England, the Catalan team must adjust its wage margins before making a written proposal.

FC Barcelona's sports department will hold crucial meetings during the first week of August 2026. The right-back position is one area the Blaugrana team aims to strengthen for the upcoming season.

Barcelona's board will determine whether to make a formal offer for Daniel Muñoz matching Crystal Palace's demands or to allow Chelsea to take the lead before the summer market deadline.
