Nottingham Forest Close to Signing Crystal Palace Defender Daniel Munoz for £25m
Nottingham Forest is engaged in advanced negotiations to secure the services of Crystal Palace defender Daniel Munoz for a fee potentially reaching £25 million. The Colombia international has emerged as a late transfer target for Forest manager Oliver Glasner, who previously worked with Munoz during his tenure at Selhurst Park.
Discussions about the transfer have been in progress for several days, gaining momentum following Palace’s 4-1 loss to Manchester City last Friday. Reports suggest that an agreement between Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace is nearing completion as the transfer deadline approaches on Tuesday.
Munoz, who joined Palace from Belgian club Genk in 2024, has become a pivotal figure for the Eagles, contributing significantly to the team’s historic FA Cup and Europa Conference League victories under Glasner’s management. With just under two years remaining on his current contract, Palace is open to parting ways with the 30-year-old defender this summer.
In addition, Crystal Palace has reinforced its squad by signing Anan Khalaili from Royale Union Saint-Gilloise earlier in the transfer window. The Israel international is anticipated to take Munoz’s spot in Pierre Sage’s lineup.
