Crystal Palace’s Daniel Munoz Open to Manchester City Move Amid Right-Back Search

Crystal Palace and Colombia international Daniel Munoz has stated his desire to move to a top-six Premier League club, with Manchester City in the market for a new right-back following Kyle Walker’s departure to Burnley.

Munoz, 29, has impressed in the Premier League and is one of the most consistent right-backs in the division. In an interview with Win Sports TV, he said: “I want to play for the best teams in the world… I dream and work every day to achieve it.”

City’s Right-Back Gap

Manchester City, under new sporting director Hugo Viana, have been active this summer, bringing in Marcus Bettinelli, Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Ait-Nouri, and Rayan Cherki. However, the departure of Kyle Walker has created a void at right-back.

While Valentino Livramento remains a long-term target, his valuation has proven prohibitive. With budget priorities focused on squad trimming, Munoz could emerge as a more cost-effective solution.

Transfer Outlook

• Contract Length: Munoz has 3 years left on his Palace deal
• Age Profile: At 29, he fits the profile for a short-term solution
• Versatility: Known for work rate, tactical awareness, and attacking overlap

Guardiola’s side are expected to continue assessing right-back options with the window closing on September 1. A move for Munoz would depend on available budget and outgoings in the squad.

FAQ

• Is City interested? No confirmed contact yet, but Munoz’s comments are seen as an invitation.
• Why not Livramento? High price tag and long-term value mismatch with current budget goals.
• What happens next? Depends on City’s ability to offload fringe players and finalize squad balance.

Conclusion

Daniel Munoz has opened the door for a summer move, and with Manchester City actively seeking a right-back, the Colombian international could soon be on their radar. Whether City take up the opportunity remains to be seen.
