Doubts about the signing of Joao Cancelo lead the FC Barcelona board to look for 'low cost' alternatives this summer. One of the names that has been heard in recent days is Daniel Muñoz, who shone with Colombia in the Copa América
The FC Barcelona looks for alternatives to Joao Cancel in front of the refusal of the Manchester City to accept a new cession by the international luso. In principle, the group 'sky blue' would be had to go down his economic aspirations by the one of Barreiro until the 20 million euros, a price that follows without convincing to the culés because of his limited margin salarial this summer.
One of the names that has sounded recently in the radar culé is Daniel Muñoz. As they aim the last informations, the defender of Crystal Palace would be in looks it of the Barça after his excellent participation in the Glass America with Colombia. Although CONMEBOL did not include him in his XI ideal of the tournament (the Venezuelan John Aramburu, of the Real Sociedad, was chosen like the best right side), the right side lució in United States until his expulsion in the 'semis' against Uruguay.
No in vain, his drop was sensitive for Colombia in the final in front of Argentina, where the 'cafeteros' finish falling in the extention (1-0). The one of Amalfi converted two goals (in front of Paraguay and Brazil) and gave an assistance (against Panama), deploying his speed, hit and good handle of balloon. In the 2023/24, Muñoz also had showed an excellent level in the Premier League, contesting 16 days in which it added 4 assistances.
Crystal Palace will not facilitate the exit of Daniel Muñoz
Daniel landed in London to finals of the last pertinent wintry market of the Genk Belgian in return of 8 million euros. Crystal Palace signed him by three seasons and average, until June of 2027 and does not have intentions to facilitate his exit this summer. And it is that the international Colombian has gone up his cotización in Transfermarkt to 23 'kilos', by which seems complicated that the English team accept to leave him go by less than €20m.
However, the Barça will keep him in his radar like one of the interesting alternatives, since Muñoz also can play like head office without problems. With 28 years, the one of Amalfi seems smart to give the jump to a 'big', although his price can become a so much elevated for the Barcelona finances. For the moment, the directive keeps to Cancel like his first option, but a 'plan B' is not of the all descartado.
