PSG ran into early trouble against Bayern Munich, falling behind with two first-half goals from Diaz. The situation worsened when Achraf Hakimi went down after a challenge from Diaz, leaving the field unable to put weight on his left foot.
The club later confirmed Hakimi will be out for several weeks, though no exact recovery date was given. With the Morocco international sidelined and the winter transfer window approaching, PSG may now regret their earlier decision not to sign a backup right-back, a gap that could prove costly.
As the transfer window nears, Fichajes reported that PSG are reportedly interested in Crystal Palace’s Daniel Muñoz to provide cover and reinforce depth at right-back.
Is Daniel Muñoz a Serious Target for the Parisians?
ESPN Colombia’s Julian Capera reported Thursday (h/t Le10Sport) that PSG are indeed one of the clubs interested in Muñoz. Moreover, the latest report from Fichajes also reveals that Chelsea and Manchester City have entered the race for the defender.
Since arriving at Crystal Palace from KRC Genk, Muñoz has established himself as one of the Premier League’s most reliable right-backs. His strong performances led to a contract extension through 2028, with an option for an additional year, securing his role in the squad.

The outlet notes that discussions are currently informal, but interest in a formal offer is increasing as the winter transfer window approaches. Nonetheless, the outcome will hinge on Muñoz’s position, Crystal Palace’s readiness to negotiate, and each club’s ability to put forward an appealing proposal.
Meanwhile, Mundo Deportivo previously reported 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.
