A thrilling transfer battle is brewing as Manchester City, Chelsea, and Barcelona all vie for the signature of Crystal Palace defender Daniel Munoz.
The 28-year-old Colombian has been a revelation at Selhurst Park, notching two goals and eight assists in 43 appearances across all competitions.
Manchester City’s Pursuit of a Right-Back
Manchester City are reportedly keen on Munoz as a replacement for Kyle Walker, who departed for AC Milan in January.
With Walker’s void yet to be filled, Munoz’s impressive form has caught the eye of City’s scouting team.
A fee of around £21m is believed to be enough to secure Munoz’s services, a relative bargain in today’s transfer market.
Chelsea and Barcelona Join the Fray
Chelsea, despite boasting a strong right-back corps with Reece James and Malo Gusto, are also said to be in the running for Munoz.
Meanwhile, Barcelona are seeking a specialist right-back, with Jules Kounde currently deputizing in the position.

Munoz’s admiration for Barcelona legend Ronaldinho could give the Catalan giants an edge in the transfer pursuit.
Crystal Palace Face Challenge in Keeping Munoz
With Munoz’s contract running until June 2027 and an option for an additional year, Crystal Palace face an uphill battle in retaining their prized defender.
The lure of Champions League football and a higher salary may prove too enticing for Munoz to resist, leaving Palace to ponder life without their talented right-back.
