Barcelona’s Summer Plans Take Shape: Right-Back Reinforcement in Focus
With the winter transfer window closed, Barcelona continues to strategize for next season, prioritizing the right-back position. Jules Kounde has been filling in as a temporary solution, but the club is actively seeking a more permanent option.
Failed Winter Move for Rashford
Barcelona had hoped to sign English striker Marcus Rashford in the winter window. However, the deal hinged on the departure of Ansu Fati, who refused to leave permanently, believing he could prove his worth under coach Hansi Flick.
Daniel Muñoz: A New Target for the Right Flank
Recent reports suggest that Barcelona is eyeing Colombian right-back Daniel Muñoz (28) from Crystal Palace. His strong performances in the Premier League, with two goals and three assists in 23 matches this season, have also attracted interest from Manchester City and Chelsea.
Despite this, Muñoz is reportedly in no rush to decide his future, as he remains under contract with Palace until 2027. His market value is estimated at €25 million.
Muñoz’s Barcelona Dream
One key factor that could work in Barcelona’s favor is Muñoz’s admiration for the club. A lifelong Barça fan, he has previously expressed his desire to play for the Catalan giants, citing Ronaldinho and Dani Alves as inspirations.
With the summer transfer window ahead, Barcelona appears to be making its first moves toward strengthening its squad for the upcoming season.
