Overview
- Multiple outlets report Everton have identified Daniel Muñoz as a concrete target but have not submitted a formal offer and remain in a watching position.
- The club views signing a natural right-back as an urgent priority after Seamus Coleman left and makeshift options failed to provide consistent cover last season.
- Munoz, 30, has more than 100 appearances for Palace, two years left on his contract plus a one-year option, and Palace may be reluctant to sell him for less than his valuation.
- A recent swap sending Brennan Johnson to Everton and Dwight McNeil to Crystal Palace has warmed relations between the clubs and is being cited by some sources as making further deals more likely.
- Everton are also linked to other right-back targets including Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Alistair Johnston, Djed Spence and Ridle Baku, so any move for Munoz would compete with alternative recruitment plans.
