PSG struggled early against Bayern Munich, falling behind twice in the first half to goals from Luis Diaz. The situation took a turn for the worse when Achraf Hakimi went down after a tackle from Diaz.
Hakimi had to leave the field in tears, unable to put weight on his left foot and requiring assistance to walk off. After a VAR review, Diaz was shown a straight red card, forcing Bayern Munich to play the second half with 10 men.
Despite the advantage, PSG managed to score only once. The match finished 2-1 in favor of Bayern Munich at the Parc des Princes, leaving Luis Enrique’s team with a frustrating defeat.
Moreover, the Parisians weren’t specific with their injury update, noting that the player will miss several weeks. As a result, there’s no real timetable yet as to how long the player will be out.
With Hakimi out for the foreseeable future and the winter transfer coming, could PSG pursue a right-back? The Parisians opted not to find a backup for the Morocco international, and now that decision could be coming back to haunt them.
Could PSG Look to Fill the Absence of Achraf Hakimi?
Fichajes reports that Daniel Muñoz, the Colombian right-back from Crystal Palace, could be a name that PSG target as a potential replacement for Hakimi.
PSG are reportedly 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.

The outlet also notes that Barcelona are showing interest in Muñoz, highlighting his rising market value. PSG will need to move quickly to stay ahead of the competition, as the club appreciates his blend of defensive reliability and attacking ability.
Muñoz 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.
