Manchester City want £21m Crystal Palace player to replace Kyle Walker, he is ready to leave
Kyle Walker left Manchester City for AC Milan during the winter transfer window.
The England international had become disillusioned at the Etihad Stadium under Pep Guardiola – having lost his place in the starting XI – and consequently moved to the San Siro on loan.
It seems like a permanent goodbye – however – as AC Milan hold an option to buy the defender for just £4.2m this summer.
Therefore, Manchester City will be looking to replace Kyle Walker – and the Citizens are now said to be keen on signing Daniel Munoz from Crystal Palace.
Manchester City want Daniel Munoz
A story from Antena 2 in Colombia now states that Manchester City are keen to sign the South American from Crystal Palace.
The Colombian news outlet claim that Chelsea and Barcelona are also admirers of Munoz – who Crystal Palace signed from KRC Genk for just £6.8m back in January 2024.
Chelsea fans were actually left impressed with Munoz after the recent 1-1 draw between Crystal Palace and the Blues.
Antena 2 write that the 28-year-old Colombia international is ready to leave Crystal Palace for a bigger club, and will weigh up his options once the 2024/25 campaign comes to an end.
Munoz is contracted to the Eagles until June 2027 – and is currently valued at €25m (£21m) by those at Selhurst Park.
The Crystal Palace No.12 has impressed this season, scoring two goals – including a strike against Manchester City – while also providing three assists in 23 Premier League appearances.
Crystal Palace want Bright Osayi-Samuel
The timing of Antena 2’s story is interesting, as Crystal Palace have only just been linked to another right wing-back in Bright Osayi-Samuel.
Osayi-Samuel has refused a new contract at Fenerbahce – allegedly – after holding talks with Crystal Palace at the start of January, so the Nigeria international could well arrive at Selhurst Park on a free transfer to replace Munoz this summer.
Crystal Palace also have Caleb Kporha – a talented academy graduate – as an option on that side.
