Crystal Palace: Daniel Munoz confirms 'dream' to join bigger club this summer

Wish: Daniel Munoz - (REUTERS)

Daniel Munoz is open to leaving Crystal Palace this summer.

The right-back, who assisted Eberechi Eze's winner in the FA Cup final, is happy at Selhurst Park but remains keen to "play for the best teams in the world" and hopes a transfer will materialise this summer.

Munoz, 29, has established himself as one of the best defenders in the Premier League since arriving from Genk two years ago, and hopes to have impressed enough to earn a move to a bigger team.

However, to date, no club has yet been in contact.

He told Colombian outlet Win Sports TV: "I want to play for the best teams in the world, but they haven't spoken to me directly.

“I dream and work every day to achieve it, and I hope it can happen as soon as possible. I hope it's in this window, but if not, I'm very happy at Crystal Palace."

Munoz provided six goals and eight assists in all competitions last season as Palace lifted their first piece of major silverware, beating Manchester City in the FA Cup final.

Munoz is under contract at Palace until 2028, with the club having the option to extend his deal by an additional year.

Having been away on international duty, Munoz is expected back for pre-season training at Palace next week.

Palace have already completed deals for goalkeeper Walter Benitez from PSV and Ajax left-back Borna Sosa.
