Nottingham Forest have formally entered the race to sign Crystal Palace right wing-back Daniel Muñoz, lodging a bid valued at up to £22 million, according to a report from The Athletic.
The proposed package comprises £20 million upfront with a further £2 million in performance-related add-ons. The 30-year-old Colombian international has established himself as a key component of Palace’s defensive structure since arriving in the Premier League.
A move to the City Ground would see Muñoz reunite with Oliver Glasner. The Austrian coach oversaw the player’s most productive spell at Selhurst Park before his departure from the South London club this summer. Glasner’s system previously allowed Muñoz to flourish as an attacking outlet from the right flank, a profile that aligns with Forest’s current tactical requirements.
Forest’s pursuit signals a clear intent to reinforce the right-wing-back position with proven Premier League experience. Muñoz offers defensive reliability combined with the capacity to contribute in the final third, attributes that would add immediate depth to Nuno Espírito Santo’s squad options for the upcoming campaign.
