PSG faced an uphill battle against Bayern Munich, conceding two goals in the first half courtesy of Diaz. The situation worsened when Achraf Hakimi suffered an injury following a challenge from Diaz, leaving the pitch in tears and unable to put weight on his left foot.
The club later announced that Hakimi would be out for several weeks but did not specify a recovery timeline. With the Moroccan international unavailable and the winter transfer window approaching, PSG may need to reconsider their earlier decision not to acquire a backup right-back, a choice that could have significant implications.
With the winter transfer window opening soon, one report from Fichajes has linked PSG with Daniel Muñoz of Crystal Palace as a potential solution to bolster their defensive depth at right back.
Barcelona Also Interested in Daniel Muñoz
Mundo Deportivo reports that Barcelona sees an opportunity to acquire Muñoz for around €30 million. The Colombian defender is under contract with Crystal Palace until 2028 and played a significant role in the team’s FA Cup victory last season, suggesting that the Premier League club may demand a suitable fee.
The previous report from Fichajes indicated that PSG is pursuing a short-term transfer, with Muñoz being a more financially viable option compared to other candidates. His skill set aligns with what PSG needs to fill the gap left by Hakimi’s absence.

Additionally, the report mentions that Barcelona is also keeping an eye on Muñoz, noting his rising market value. PSG will need to act quickly to maintain competitiveness, given the player’s balance of defensive strength and offensive capabilities.
However, the Ligue 1 club may explore other right-back options if they wish to avoid entering a bidding war for a potential squad addition.
