Crystal Palace’s Pursuit of Colombian Star Daniel Munoz Intensifies as Transfer Deadline Nears
1 min read
Crystal Palace has received a significant boost in their efforts to secure the services of Colombian sensation Daniel Munoz before the transfer window slams shut. The Genk right-back, known for his attacking prowess, has taken drastic measures by going on strike in a bid to push through a move to the London club.
Munoz, who has been a target for Palace throughout the winter, has caught the eye of manager Roy Hodgson, who openly expressed interest after watching footage of the dynamic full-back. With aging options in Joel Ward and Nathaniel Clyne, both set to become free agents in the summer, Munoz’s arrival would address a crucial need in Palace’s defensive lineup.
Genk, however, is standing firm on their valuation of £8.6 million for the 27-year-old, highlighting his importance with impressive statistics – 19 goals and 20 assists in 48 appearances since his arrival in 2020. Munoz’s attacking prowess and versatility make him an attractive prospect for Palace, who are desperate for reinforcements as they navigate a challenging league campaign.
Currently languishing in 15th place in the league standings, Palace is in dire need of a turnaround under Hodgson’s leadership. With crucial fixtures against Sheffield United and Brighton and Hove Albion looming, Eagles fans are eagerly anticipating Munoz’s potential arrival to bolster their squad after missing out on other targets like Kalvin Phillips.
