Nottingham Forest Complete Signing of Daniel Muñoz for Up to £22m

Oliver Glasner has driven the move to bring his trusted Colombia right‑back to the City Ground to bolster Forest’s wing‑back options with the player available for selection immediately.

Overview

  • Nottingham Forest confirmed the transfer of Colombia right‑back Daniel Muñoz from Crystal Palace on Monday, Aug 31, in a deal reported to be worth up to £22 million.
  • Muñoz has signed a three‑year contract with Forest that includes a club option for a further year, with reports saying the fee is about £20m up front plus £2m in add‑ons.
  • The player cited his relationship with manager Oliver Glasner as a key reason for the move, reuniting with the coach who led him during Palace’s recent cup and European successes.
  • Forest expect Muñoz to strengthen their right wing‑back role and have indicated he could be available to make his debut as soon as the next Premier League match against Tottenham.
  • The transfer removes a regular starter from Crystal Palace’s squad — where Munoz made 109 appearances and won domestic and European trophies — and continues Forest’s summer recruitment of players familiar with Glasner’s system.
