Barcelona Monitor Crystal Palace’s Daniel Munoz for 2026 Backline Plans

Financial constraints leave a new right-back unlikely despite the link.

Overview

  • Multiple reports via Mundo Deportivo say the club has renewed scouting of the 29-year-old Colombian as it maps out its 2026/27 squad rebuild.
  • Football España reports the sporting department will prioritize a centre-back and a striker in that window, tempering expectations for a move at right-back.
  • Munoz is tied to Crystal Palace through 2028 with an estimated €30 million valuation, strengthening the Premier League club’s negotiating position.
  • Manchester City and Chelsea are also reported to be tracking the defender, a factor that could increase competition and price.
  • Barcelona are also monitoring Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi as part of defensive planning, while January business is viewed as unlikely.
