Crystal Palace defender Daniel Muñoz has put an end to speculation linking him with a transfer to Manchester City by signing a new contract with the club. The 25-year-old has extended his deal at Selhurst Park by 12 months, with a significant increase in salary reflecting his progress at the club. Manchester City had shown interest in Muñoz during the January transfer window but are now expected to pursue other full-back targets, such as Andrea Cambiaso from Juventus.
Muñoz's decision to commit his future to Crystal Palace has likely closed the door on any potential move to Manchester City. The defender's new contract ensures his stay at the London club until 2028, dispelling rumors of a transfer to the Premier League champions. With Muñoz's future settled, Manchester City will now focus on other options to bolster their defensive lineup for the upcoming season.
