Everton show interest in Crystal Palace right-back Daniel Munoz – report
Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth says Everton are interested in Crystal Palace defender Daniel Munoz, with David Moyes looking to add a right-back this summer. Munoz has two years left on his deal, plus an option for a further year.
Everton are interested in signing Crystal Palace right-back Daniel Munoz, according to Dharmesh Sheth of Sky Sports. The reporter says the Merseyside club have the Colombia international on their list as they assess options at right-back in this window.
Sheth adds that David Moyes is in the market to bring in a right-back before the summer deadline. Munoz is under contract at Selhurst Park for another two years, with Palace also holding an option to extend by a further year.
The state of play
The suggestion at this stage is interest, rather than active negotiations. Sheth has not reported talks between the clubs or a bid from Everton, and there is no indication Palace are prepared to sell. With an option year in hand, Palace would be in a strong position to decide the timing and terms of any approach.
For Everton, the focus described by Sheth points to a targeted search at right-back. Munoz fits that role, but whether the interest develops into formal contact will depend on Everton’s priorities and Palace’s stance as the market progresses.
Neither club has made this interest official and no figures or timelines have been reported. This remains one to watch as Everton weigh their options in the final weeks of the window.
