The key factor that brings the trendy Premier League full-back closer to FC Barcelona

Daniel Muñoz is one of the main members of the 'casting' of the right-back position of the FC Barcelona sports management. The 28-year-old Colombian has established himself as one of the revelations of the Premier League at Crystal Palace, where he has scored 5 goals and provided 5 assists in the 32 matches he has played this season.

In his position, only Denzel Dumfries has celebrated more goals (8) in the top five leagues, and he is the player who has completed the most successful 'tackles' in the entire Premier League (61 out of 91). This spectacular performance in both phases of the game has not gone unnoticed by clubs like Manchester City and Chelsea, in addition to Barça, who are preparing to attempt to sign him in the next transfer window.

Barça would have an advantage in the race for Muñoz

However, if a bidding war were to begin for the South American's signing, the Catalan entity would have an advantage over its rivals. In statements made to 'ESPN' in 2020, the Colombian declared himself a fan of the club and confessed to dreaming of wearing the blue and garnet jersey at some point in his career.

"I have always liked and longed to play for Barcelona, but I also really like English football, I long to play in the Premier League, whichever team it is," confessed the player, who has already fulfilled his second wish and could do the same with the first at the end of the season.

In fact, the hints in a culé tone did not end there, as Muñoz also revealed that his two great idols are two former blaugranas. "As a child, my idol was always Ronaldinho. I played as a winger and looked up to players like him. When I started playing as a full-back, I looked up to Dani Alves, his movements, how he attacked and defended, which is why he also became my idol," he stated. Thus, Barça could be in line for the arrival of the trendy full-back in the Premier League if they decide to pursue his signing in the summer.
