The Premier League transfer market might have Daniel Muñoz as one of its major protagonists. The Colombian full-back, enjoying a great season with Crystal Palace, is reportedly on the radar of one of England's most powerful clubs.
According to reports from FútbolRed and Revista La Liga, the team in question is Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, which has allegedly initiated talks to bring him into their squad in the next summer transfer window. The potential departure of Kyle Walker has left a gap in the Citizens' defense, and Muñoz appears as an ideal candidate to fill the position. His offensive capability, speed, and versatility have caught the attention of the current Premier League champions.
The 28-year-old defender has recorded an exceptional season with Palace, tallying five goals and four assists, and has been recognized as the team's player of the month for February. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is around 25 million euros, although City is reportedly willing to offer close to 30 million to secure his services.
For now, Muñoz is focused on the Colombian national team for the matches against Brazil and Paraguay in the South American Qualifiers. Recently asked about his future, he avoided giving details:
“I shut my ears a bit to what's being said outside. I want to focus on working hard, giving my best to my teammates and the team,” said the Colombian.
In the absence of a formal offer, everything suggests that Daniel Muñoz's destination could change very soon. Meanwhile, the Colombian continues to shine in the Premier League, making it clear that he's ready for a new challenge in the elite of European football.
