Defensively, no other Premier League defender has made more tackles than Munoz’s 106 this season, and he ranks prominently among the league’s leading full-backs for both sprints and distance covered.

Chairman Steve Parish commented, “This is fantastic news for Crystal Palace. Daniel is the epitome of an excellent professional, giving his all in every match and training session.

“He has made a significant impact since arriving in South London last year, and I am thrilled that he has chosen to commit his future to the club.”

The Colombian international began his journey in his homeland, moving to Atletico Nacional, the most successful club in the country. He transitioned to Europe in 2020 with a transfer to Genk, where he clinched the Belgian Cup in his debut season before making his way to London in 2024.

His international career kicked off in 2021, and he has since earned 38 caps for Los Cafeteros, including participation in Colombia’s run to the semi-finals of the Copa America, where they were narrowly defeated by Lionel Messi’s Argentina on penalties.
