Forest Close in on Daniel Munoz Transfer From Crystal Palace

The reported deal would give manager Oliver Glasner a trusted wing-back at Forest, increasing pressure on Palace to replace a regular starter.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets reported on Saturday that Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace have reached agreement on a deal for Daniel Munoz with the player due to travel for a medical to complete the transfer.
  • Sources commonly put the fee at about £22 million, often described as £20 million guaranteed plus £2 million in add‑ons, while some reports say the package could reach as much as £25 million.
  • Manager Oliver Glasner is driving the move to reunite with Munoz, who was a regular under Glasner at Palace and fits the wing-back role Glasner uses.
  • Forest have also submitted a bid for Palace goalkeeper Dean Henderson, but Palace are said to regard Henderson as not for sale and are working on a contract extension for him.
  • Munoz is a 30-year-old Colombia international who joined Palace from Genk in 2024, made over 100 appearances, helped win the FA Cup and Europa Conference League, and leaves Palace with roughly two years left on his contract, creating both tactical and financial consequences for both clubs.
