Munoz Completes Nottingham Forest Transfer
Nottingham Forest have completed the acquisition of right wing-back Daniel Munoz from Crystal Palace. The structural transfer is valued at up to £22m. Munoz, 30, signs a three-year contract containing an option for a fourth year, reuniting with manager Oliver Glasner at the City Ground.
Palace Realignment and Henderson Stance
Crystal Palace sanctioned the departure of the Colombia international following the arrival of Anan Khalaili from Union Saint-Gilloise. Palace generate a net surplus on Munoz, whom they recruited from Genk for £8.5m in January 2024. Munoz was previously deployed in Palace's Conference League and FA Cup winning campaigns.
Palace have closed all further exit channels toward Nottingham Forest. Despite an approach from Forest for goalkeeper and club captain Dean Henderson, Palace leadership confirmed Henderson will remain at Selhurst Park to stabilize the defensive framework under head coach Pierre Sage.
Remaining Deadline Day Activity
Both clubs maintain active transfer corridors ahead of the 11pm Tuesday deadline:
- Nottingham Forest forward recruitment: Forest are considering a late move for Newcastle forward Jacob Murphy following the departure of Omari Hutchinson to AC Milan. An approach for Everton midfielder Harrison Armstrong collapsed after unanimous board rejection from Everton.
- Forest outgoings: Eintracht Frankfurt remain in active negotiations with Forest to secure striker Arnaud Kalimuendo on loan with an option to buy.
- Palace defensive additions: Palace are nearing a season-long loan agreement with Atalanta for Honest Ahanor, linked to a prospective permanent transfer to Chelsea next summer.
- Ismaila Sarr situation: Winger Ismaila Sarr has requested a departure amid interest from Liverpool, but Palace maintain the Senegal international is not for sale under his contract expiring in 2029.
