Premier League
The FC Barcelona continues its search for reinforcements to strengthen its squad for the upcoming season, with a focus on the right-back position. With Jules Koundé as the primary option in that role and young Héctor Fort still adapting to the first team, the Catalan club aims to provide Hansi Flick with more alternatives in that area of the field. In this context, the Barcelona board has set its sights on Daniel Muñoz, who currently plays for Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
Barcelona's interest in the Colombian is not isolated, as other major clubs like Manchester City and Chelsea are also monitoring his progress. At 27 years old, Muñoz has showcased his abilities both in attack and defense, recently contributing a key assist in Palace's victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford. His contract with the English team runs until 2027, with a release clause set at 25 million euros, a figure that could be negotiable depending on the summer market.
Daniel Muñoz, in FC Barcelona's sights
One advantage the Catalan team has in the race for the player is Muñoz's own desire to wear the blaugrana shirt. He has expressed his admiration for the club and legends like Ronaldinho and Dani Alves, whom he considers role models in his career. This factor could tilt the negotiation in Barcelona's favor.
So far this season, Muñoz has played 27 matches for Crystal Palace, scoring two goals and providing four assists. He joined English football a year ago from Genk for around 8 million euros, catching the attention of several European clubs with his performances. Now, with the summer transfer market on the horizon, Barcelona is evaluating the feasibility of adding him to bolster a key position in their lineup.
