KRC Genk defender Daniel Muñoz is set to leave the club and join Crystal Palace after being told he has permission to travel to London for a medical.
That’s according to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, who say the Belgian side have finally struck an agreement with Crystal Palace on a deal worth €10m including bonuses.
Palace have been chasing Muñoz for much of this month but only slowly gotten towards Genk’s asking price for him.
Their initial bid of €6m was quickly rejected before being followed up by an offer worth €8m plus €2m in bonuses to get closer to Genk’s initial and steadfast €10m demand for the player.
According to him officials at Genk have reached an agreement with Crystal Palace on a €10m deal including bonuses and have communicated to the Colombian that he is free to travel to London to undergo medical tests.
Once those are completed, he will sign a deal with the Eagles until 2028 and become their first signing of the January transfer window.🚨 🔵 Daniel Muñoz set to leave #KRCGenk for Crystal Palace ! 🦅🏴
