Daniel Muñoz will stay until 2028: Crystal Palace secures top defender!

Daniel Muñoz will remain a key player for Crystal Palace until 2028. The club signed the Colombian full-back on a long-term contract yesterday. Muñoz, who joined Crystal Palace from Genk in January 2024, has proven indispensable since his move. In a total of 54 games, he scored six goals and provided ten assists, which underlines his importance for the team. In the current season, his crucial goals, particularly the winning goal against Brighton and a goal in the FA Cup round of 16 against Millwall, have contributed significantly to the club's competitiveness.

The contract extension was enthusiastically commented on by Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish. He described Muñoz as an outstanding professional and expressed his joy at his long-term commitment to the club. Muñoz himself felt at home at Selhurst Park from his first day and expressed his excitement about the new arrangement.

Statistical top performances

So far this season, Muñoz has won an impressive 106 tackles, more than any other defender in the Premier League. This performance not only underlines his defensive strength, but also his skills in build-up play. Additionally, he is one of the best fullbacks in the league in terms of sprints and distance covered. Such statistics are of great importance for Crystal Palace as the team currently sits 12th in the Premier League and has had to compete with renowned clubs such as Manchester City and Newcastle in recent games.

Muñoz was also recognized for his achievements, receiving the Goal of the Month award twice and being named NET88 Player of the Month in February. Such accolades demonstrate how quickly the 28-year-old has established himself in English football and the role he plays in Crystal Palace's future.
