Manchester City threatens FC Barcelona: a target for the full-back in danger

The FC Barcelona begins to outline its roadmap for the upcoming summer transfer market. The sports management, led by Deco, has made it clear that the priority is to sign a reinforcement for the left wing and, if possible, a center forward. However, positions such as the pivot and, above all, the right-back could also be reinforced in the summer window.

Indeed, Hansi Flick considers it necessary to bring in a reliable player for the right side of the defense to act as a backup for Jules Koundé, who has practically played every match this season. For this reason, the azulgrana entity is analyzing various options for this area of the field, and in addition to alternatives like Marc Pubill and Andrei Ratiu, Daniel Muñoz emerges as a very attractive option for the team.

The Colombian full-back established himself as one of the standout players for his national team during the Copa América 2024 and has taken a definitive step forward this season at Crystal Palace, being one of the most prominent players in his position in the Premier League. For this reason, the Catalans have focused their attention on him and are considering his name as a serious option for the right flank of the defense.

Manchester City 'threatens' Barça with Muñoz

However, Muñoz's excellent performance under Oliver Glasner has not only sparked interest in the Catalan capital, as Manchester City is also reportedly tracking the defender. This is reported by 'SKY', which states that the 'skyblues', who parted ways with Kyle Walker last winter, are looking to strengthen their right-back position in the summer, and the 28-year-old player is high on their list of potential signings.

The Colombian, whose contract expires in 2027, has a market value of 25 million euros according to 'Transfermarkt', so Palace would set the bar at this figure to start negotiations for one of their key players. The 'war' is on between Barça and City, both awaiting the green light from the Antioquian to proceed with their operation, which could unfold in the coming months.
