Oliver Glasner suggests Crystal Palace has a new contract with fullback Daniel Munoz.
Oliver Glasner did a decent job this time at Selhurst Park. He aims to build it next season, but we need to ensure that Crystal Palace retains some of their best players. Marc Guehi, Eberechi Eze, Jean-Philippe Mateta and Adam Wharton all have been attracting considerable interest.
With Guehi’s contract gone in 2026, he could be the first to leave the club. Apart from the four, Daniel Munoz is also linked to leaving. Manchester City appears to be keen on his signature as it seeks to strengthen its side. However, according to Glasner, the palace is approaching securing his long-term future with a new deal.
While talking about his contract status last week, London World said: “Not yet. We’ve checked Will (Hughes) but we can expect to see some things over the next few days. Danny (Munoz) embodies the passion and spirit of the team.
“I know he has to improve on a few things. For example, when he conceded his third goal at halftime at Manchester City, he opened up an internal gap he made two or three times this season, so it’s very positive.”
Daniel Munoz is an important player
Munoz arrived at the London Club in early 2024, but since then he has only gone from strength to strength. He prefers to play as a fullback, but he is similarly good at the wingback role and can even tip as a centre back if necessary.
He has contributed 12 goals this season with 38 outings. His performance certainly attracted a lot of interest from all over Europe, and Crystal Palace could find him very difficult to embrace. As a result, they have already begun work on updating.
Glasner praises the 28-year-old fullback, already hinting at a potential new deal. Following his comments, Alan Nixon reported that Crystal Palace has signed a new contract with Munoz. His deal, which is due to expire in 2027, is currently running until 2028, with the club having the option of extending it for another 12 months.
The Eagles will certainly be pleased to secure a long-term future for Columbia International.
