Barcelona eyeing summer deal for Crystal Palace star | OneFootball

La Liga giants Barcelona are giving consideration to a summer swoop for a member of the defensive ranks at Crystal Palace.

That’s according to Mundo Deportivo, citing Antena 2, who point towards Daniel Muñoz as the player in the sights of the Barcelona brass.

Defender Muñoz has for his part enjoyed a stellar campaign to date.

Capable of lining out as any of a traditional right-back, wing-back, winger or even in midfield, the Colombian has featured from the off in all but one of Crystal Palace’s Premier League fixtures.

And, alongside defensive stoutness, Muñoz has chipped in in the attacking third, to the tune of two goals and three assists.

Such exploits have not gone unnoticed across the English football landscape, with both Chelsea and Manchester City understood to be keeping a close eye on the situation of the 28-year-old.

And so too, it is claimed, are the aforementioned Barcelona.

As per MD, amid an ongoing search for reinforcements at full-back with a view to next season, the Blaugrana have earmarked Muñoz as a leading target.
