Barcelona Renew Interest in Crystal Palace Right-Back Daniel Muñoz for 2026 Plan

Reports frame the pursuit as long-term planning rather than a January move.

Overview

  • Multiple reports say Barcelona have re-listed Daniel Muñoz as a right-back option for the 2026 window, with Chelsea and Manchester City also monitoring him.
  • Muñoz is under contract at Crystal Palace until 2028, and recent coverage cites an estimated valuation near €30 million.
  • Crystal Palace are described as unwilling to sanction a sale without a firm offer, and a mid-season transfer is viewed as unlikely.
  • Some outlets report sporting director Deco is pushing the case and that Hansi Flick wants a right-back, though Barcelona are prioritising a centre-back and a striker.
  • The Colombia international has been a consistent starter under Oliver Glasner and has produced notable attacking returns that have boosted his profile.
