Munoz: It would be a dream to play for a big club, but I m currently focused on Crystal Palace

Hupu News on November 16th High-level right backs are very scarce in European football. If you don't believe it, you can ask Barcelona. They have transformed Konde in the past few seasons, but his state this season is worrying. With Eric Garcia emerging as an alternative and Xavi Espat emerging as an alternative, there is now a new player on the horizon who is being courted by giants such as Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​for whom he has expressed his love many times before.

We are talking about the Colombian Munoz, who has played every game in England this season and is a key member of the Crystal Palace system, so much so that he has attracted the interest and attention of many Premier League, Bundesliga and La Liga clubs.

The most dynamic full-back

This is not a new situation, as the Colombian international has already shined in the Premier League in the 2024-25 season. He played 46 games for Crystal Palace last season, scoring 6 goals and providing 7 assists. One of the assists helped Eze defeat Guardiola's Manchester City in the FA Cup final. He was also named the best player in the final.

But his influence on the field goes far beyond his goal contribution. In this regard, CIES last year named him the "most dynamic full-back" in the top 30 leagues in the world based on his study of game running distance and high-speed (>20 km/h) running percentage.

Is the transfer coming soon?

Munoz's contract runs until June 2028. This powerful Colombian wide player is now targeting a higher platform. Although he said he is focused on Crystal Palace, at the age of 29, he has not closed the door to any European giants.

He expressed his views on this at the press conference before the Colombian national team played against New Zealand. "First of all, there are a lot of rumors and I think the media talks about it a lot. If you ask me, it would be a dream for me to be able to play for a club like this, whether it's Barcelona, ​​Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid or Manchester United. I believe I work hard for it and I try my best day in and day out to one day get noticed by one of these clubs, because for me it would be a dream to be able to get there."

An option to replace Conte

But for now he is focused on Crystal Palace, at least until the winter transfer window: "Now I am focused on my club, focused on doing things well at Crystal Palace. I don't pay much attention to outside talk, I have not received any information that these clubs want me or are interested in me. Focus Putting it on Crystal Palace and the national team, we will wait until the winter transfer window approaches. Time will tell everything. Now we are completely focused on these two games of the national team. "

In any case, the winter transfer window is approaching, and Munoz may be an extremely attractive option for several European giants, including Barcelona. Barcelona currently has only one right back in Konde, and the other is Eric Garcia who occasionally makes a guest appearance. But none of them are pure full-backs, and only Harvey Espat in the youth academy is knocking on the door of the first team.

Although he has also been favored by teams such as Real Madrid or Paris Saint-Germain, Munoz's great dream is to one day play for Barcelona, ​​as he has mentioned many times before. "As a kid, my idol was always Ronaldinho when he was playing for Barcelona. When I started playing full-back, I paid attention to Alves, his running, his attacking and defensive methods, so in this position, he also became my idol," he once said.
