Munoz, who has inked a contract running until 2027, brings with him a wealth of experience and talent, having showcased his prowess with Genk where he notched up an impressive five goals in 17 appearances this season.
For Munoz, donning the Crystal Palace jersey represents the realization of a lifelong dream to compete in the esteemed Premier League.
The 10-year journey to reach this pinnacle moment has been marked by perseverance and dedication, traits that have defined Munoz’s career trajectory.
His determination to secure the move was evident as he took the decisive step of abstaining from training earlier this month, underscoring his unwavering commitment to joining the Eagles.
The addition of Munoz addresses a crucial need for Crystal Palace, particularly in the right-back position, where the club sought rejuvenation amid the impending contract expirations of Nathaniel Clyne and Joel Ward.
Munoz’s versatility and defensive prowess make him a valuable asset for Palace as they navigate the challenges of top-flight competition.
Additionally, Munoz’s international pedigree, having earned regular caps for Colombia, further bolsters his credentials and underscores the caliber of talent now gracing the Selhurst Park turf.
