Overview
- Chelsea have registered interest through intermediaries and are weighing a January approach to bolster cover given Reece James’ injury record, according to multiple reports.
- Crystal Palace are described as unlikely sellers during the season and would seek well over £25 million, backed by Muñoz’s contract running to 2028 with a club option.
- Barcelona, Manchester City and Paris Saint‑Germain are also monitoring the Colombia international, with some reports suggesting a fee near €30 million, though that figure remains unconfirmed.
- Muñoz has been a near ever‑present for Palace this season, featuring in all 19 matches with two goals and two assists and drawing praise for his work rate and defending.
- In a new interview, Muñoz said it would be a dream to join a European giant such as Barcelona, PSG, Real Madrid or Manchester United but stressed he has no concrete offers and remains focused on Palace.
