​The summer transfer window is entering its frantic final stretch, and Nottingham Forest are ready to make a major splash. According to exclusive reports from Football Insider’s transfer correspondent Pete O’Rourke, the Reds are plotting a late-window raid on Premier League rivals Crystal Palace to secure the services of star right-wing-back Daniel Munoz.

​Following a narrow 1-0 opening-day defeat to Leeds United at the City Ground, new Forest manager Oliver Glasner is eager to put his stamp on the squad. If sources are to be believed, a reunion with one of his most trusted former generals could be just around the corner.

​Glasner Keen to Reunite with His Selhurst Park Favorite

​During his celebrated tenure at Selhurst Park, Glasner turned Crystal Palace into a formidable force, guiding the Eagles to historic triumphs in the FA Cup, Community Shield, and the UEFA Conference League. Central to that incredible success was the relentless energy, defensive tenacity, and attacking output of Colombia international Daniel Munoz.

​Now installed in the dugout at the City Ground, Glasner has identified right-back and wing-back depth as a critical area for reinforcement. Speaking on Football Insider’s Transfer Insider podcast, O’Rourke highlighted the deep bond between the manager and the player:

​“Munoz would tick a lot of boxes for a lot of clubs because he’s Premier League proven,” O’Rourke explained. “There’s interest from Nottingham Forest, with Oliver Glasner now being at the City Ground, and we know he’s a huge fan of Munoz having worked with him at Palace. If he is made available by Crystal Palace in the closing stages of the window, then that could be something Nottingham Forest look to explore.”

​The Valuation and Palace’s Stance

​Crystal Palace have slapped a £25 million price tag on the 30-year-old defender. While newly appointed Palace boss Pierre Sage has publicly insisted that Munoz remains an important part of his plans—even starting him in their opening-day fixture against Everton—the Eagles have quietly positioned themselves for flexibility.

​Having completed the summer arrivals of full-back Oscar Mingueza and winger Anan Khalaili, Palace may be open to cashing in if a suitor meets their valuation before the window closes. For interested buyers like Nottingham Forest, a £25 million fee is viewed as entirely affordable for a player of Munoz’s proven Premier League pedigree.

​However, Forest are far from alone in the race for his signature. Everton are also tracking the Colombian as David Moyes looks to shore up his defensive options, while Tottenham Hotspur have kept a watchful eye on his situation.

​Despite Tottenham’s interest, reports suggest Munoz may harbor reservations about moving to North London, as he would likely face a battle to displace Pedro Porro as the undisputed first-choice starter under Roberto De Zerbi. In contrast, a move to the City Ground would offer Munoz a guaranteed path into the starting XI under a manager who knows precisely how to unlock his world-class potential.

​A Crucial Final Week for Forest’s Recruitment

​As the clock ticks down toward deadline day, Nottingham Forest’s hierarchy are working overtime to support Glasner and ensure the squad has the necessary depth to compete on all fronts this season.

​Securing a dynamic, battle-tested competitor like Daniel Munoz for around £25 million would not only weaken a direct Premier League rival but also provide the Reds with a massive injection of quality down the right flank. If Glasner can pull off this reunion, it could prove to be one of the shrewdest and most impactful signings of the entire summer window!
