South American star admits it would be a dream to play for Real Madrid or Barcelona
Since joining Crystal Palace in January 2024, Daniel Munoz has grown into one of the most consistent and reliable right-backs in the Premier League.
So much so that the Colombian defender, who is a regular for his national team as well, has attracted interest from some of Europe’s biggest clubs, including PSG and Barcelona.
Munoz names Real Madrid among his dream clubs
Currently away with the Colombian national team for their upcoming friendly matches against New Zealand and Australia, Munoz was asked about the interest he was attracting from the top teams across Europe.
In response, Munoz admitted that it would be a dream come true for him to play for clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid, or Manchester United.
“First of all, I think there’s a lot of talk about one club or another. If you ask me, it would be a dream come true to play for one of these clubs, whether it’s Barcelona, PSG, Real Madrid, or Manchester United,” said Munoz in an interview with AS Colombia.
“I think I’m working towards that; I strive every day to one day attract the attention of one of these clubs, because it’s a dream of mine to get there,” he added.
At the same time, the South American defender insisted that he was focused on his situation at Crystal Palace for now and not thinking about transfers.
“Right now I’m focused on my club, on doing things well at Crystal Palace. If you ask me, I don’t have any concrete information that any of these clubs are interested in me,” said Munoz.
“My focus is on Crystal Palace; we’ll see when the winter transfer window gets closer. Right now, I’m fully focused on these two matches with the national team,” he added.
While Munoz might view Real Madrid as one of his dream destinations, there is nothing to suggest that the Merengues are interested in the 29-year-old at the moment.
Real Madrid signed Trent Alexander-Arnold to reinforce their right-back position last summer, with Dani Carvajal already at the club.
Real Madrid youngster Endrick continues to attract interest from several clubs ahead of another potential loan move in the upcoming January transfer window.
The latest side considering a move for the Brazilian forward is Aston Villa.
Indeed, according to reports relayed by Bernabeu Digital, the Premier League club are interested in signing the Real Madrid striker on loan in January.
No minutes for Endrick
Endrick has had very limited opportunities under Jose Mourinho this season. Across Real Madrid’s nine matches in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, the Brazilian has played just four minutes, coming on in the 86th minute against Elche.
Such limited playing time has left the young forward struggling to gain the minutes and experience needed to develop his talent at Real Madrid.
As such, another loan move, like last January when he left for Olympique Lyon, could offer him a chance to play more regularly and continue his progression.
Aston Villa, managed by Unai Emery, have now emerged as an interested party to acquire the Brazilian international’s services on loan for the second half of the season.
AC Milan also interested in Endrick
Howver, Aston Villa are not the only club monitoring Endrick’s situation. AC Milan have also renewed their interest in the Brazilian forward.
The Rossoneri already held an interest in the 20-year-old forward during the summer transfer window and are knocking on the doors once again now.
In fact, some reports in Italy even go on to suggest that the youngster is ready to pounce on the opportunity to sign for the Serie A giants.
For now, however, there have been no concrete developments or formal approaches from any interested club.
Real Madrid are understood to be open to allowing Endrick to leave on loan, but they are not considering a permanent sale as they still have a lot of faith in the promising attacker whom they signed from Palmeiras.
With Aston Villa and AC Milan both interested, the coming months could prove important in determining where the young Brazilian will continue his development.
