Premier League
Manchester City has once again set its sights on Daniel Muñoz, the right-back from Crystal Palace, with the intention of adding him to their squad in the upcoming summer transfer window. Kyle Walker's departure to AC Milan has left a void on the right flank, and Pep Guardiola is looking for a reliable alternative to strengthen his defense. Muñoz, with his outstanding adaptation to the Premier League, has become an attractive option for the current English champions, as reported by Todo Fichajes.
The Colombian, who arrived at Selhurst Park in January 2024 from Genk for 10 million euros, has shown solid performance in his first season in England. His ability to join the attack, combined with his defensive intensity, has established him as a key piece in Palace's system. In 23 appearances this season, he has scored three goals and provided four assists, figures that reflect his impact both defensively and offensively.
Manchester City Goes for the Signing of Daniel Muñoz
Guardiola sees in Muñoz a player with the ideal profile for his playing style. His versatility to operate as a classic full-back or as a wing-back in a five-man defense, along with his physical strength and tactical commitment, make him an ideal choice to cover the right side. The Colombian is under contract with Crystal Palace until 2027, and his market value is around 25 million euros, although his signing could be finalized for a sum between 30 and 40 million.
Despite Manchester City's interest, the Colombian is also on the radar of other top European teams. Chelsea, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich have closely monitored his progress, which could lead to an intense bidding war for his services. However, City's confidence in their economic capabilities and their status as one of the most dominant clubs in European football may convince Muñoz to join their project.
