Juventus have stepped up their efforts to find defensive reinforcements in the Premier League, with a recent visit to London putting right-back Daniel Muñoz of Crystal Palace firmly on their radar, according to Spazio J.
The Colombian international delivered a strong season at Selhurst Park, impressing with his adaptability and reliability across the back line. Muñoz, now 29, is reportedly open to leaving Palace for a higher-profile club, with Juventus among those monitoring his situation closely. His ability to play both as a right-sided full-back and as part of a back three is seen as a valuable asset in Turin as they seek tactical flexibility under new management.
The defender’s market value is estimated around €25 million, though reports suggest that figure could be subject to negotiation. While Muñoz is not among the most high-profile names in England, his consistent performances have increased his standing in recent months, attracting European interest.
Juventus’ activity in London reflects a broader search for defensive upgrades, particularly as the club faces uncertainty over its current options on the right. Timothy Weah remains available for transfer, and there are now indications that Alberto Costa could also depart after a short stint in Turin. Club sources state that, unless an unexpectedly generous offer arrives, only one of the two is likely to be sold this window, reducing the need for a full overhaul on the flanks. However, if both were to leave, Juventus would be compelled to invest more significantly in new arrivals.
Muñoz’s potential acquisition is viewed as a pragmatic solution—addressing both the need for depth and the desire for players ready to step into a starting role. With the English market continuing to be a rich source of players for Serie A sides this summer, Juventus’ London meetings are part of a focused strategy to strengthen a key area of the squad.
The situation remains fluid, with the final decision likely to hinge on outgoings—particularly whether Weah or Costa are sold—and how negotiations develop with Crystal Palace over Muñoz’s fee.
