PSG found themselves in early trouble against Bayern Munich, conceding twice in the first half to goals from Diaz. The night got worse when Achraf Hakimi went down after a challenge from Diaz and had to be helped off in tears, unable to put any weight on his left foot.
Afterward, the club confirmed that Hakimi will be sidelined for several weeks but didn’t offer a clear recovery timeline. With the Morocco international now set to miss time and the winter transfer window nearing, PSG might be forced to rethink their decision not to bring in a backup right-back, a choice that could prove costly.
With the winter transfer window opening soon, one report from Fichajes linked the Parisians to Daniel Muñoz of Crystal Palace to help cover the loss and have the needed depth at right back.
Barcelona Also Eye Daniel Muñoz
Mundo Deportivo reports that Barcelona believe they could land Muñoz for roughly €30 million. The Colombian is under contract with Crystal Palace until 2028 and was part of the team that won the FA Cup last season, meaning the Premier League club could demand a fee they consider appropriate.
The previous report from Fichajes revealed that PSG are exploring a short-term transfer, with Muñoz emerging as a more affordable option compared with other targets. He matches the profile they need to cover for Hakimi’s absence.

Furthermore, the report notes that Barcelona is keeping tabs on Muñoz, highlighting his increasing market value. PSG will have to act fast to stay competitive, given the club values his mix of defensive solidity and offensive contributions.
Nonetheless, the Ligue 1 side could decide to look at other options at right-back if they don’t want to get into a bidding war for a potential depth signing.
