On November 4, PSG’s Achraf Hakimi exited the pitch during the match against Bayern Munich following a severe challenge from Luis Díaz, unable to place weight on his left foot.
Later, the club confirmed that he will be sidelined for several weeks, although they did not provide a specific return date. With the winter transfer window approaching and the Morocco international out of action, PSG may begin to feel the repercussions of not securing additional right-back cover earlier on.

Recently, Julian Capera from ESPN Colombia reported that PSG is keeping an eye on Daniel Muñoz. Additionally, Mundo Deportivo has indicated that Barcelona regards Muñoz as a potential target, with an estimated price tag of around €30 million.
Any potential move will depend on Muñoz’s situation, Crystal Palace’s willingness to engage in negotiations, and the ability of interested clubs to present an enticing offer. As such, one major club might be less interested in the Colombian standout as the winter transfer window approaches.

“Muñoz has indicated a willingness to consider leaving Palace,” Brown remarked. “He has built a solid reputation and is highly regarded for his contributions to Palace’s recent success.”
“Although I have never heard his name linked to Manchester United, his recent statements have drawn attention. He has performed exceptionally well for Palace since joining, and if he is looking to move on to bigger clubs, it could put added pressure on them.”

“Man United has not been actively seeking a right-back, but circumstances can shift. Given his public comments, I expect they will at least investigate what it would take to lure him away from Palace.”
“However, prior to this, his name hadn’t come up, and he wasn’t on their radar. It will be interesting to see how this develops, as he has now brought it to the forefront and the club would be remiss not to explore the opportunity.”
