Crystal Palace star rejects Serie A giants

Munoz was named Man of the Match in last season’s FA Cup final against Manchester City, helping Crystal Palace win their first major trophy.

Crystal Palace players were eager to make a move all summer, and their success brought unwanted attention.

Eberechi Eze was thrilled to return to his boyhood club, having been snapped up by Arsenal for £60 million from Tottenham Hotspur.

Marc Guehi’s dream move to Liverpool fell through on transfer deadline day as Oliver Glasner refused to lose his captain.

Adam Walton was also the subject of interest from several clubs, while Tottenham Hotspur made an inquiry for striker Jean-Philippe Mateta on transfer deadline day.

Now, reports suggest that Munoz was also wanted by Inter Milan, but fell through as both the club and the player wanted the Colombian to remain at Selhurst Park.

Crystal Palace fans will be pleased to hear their players resisted the allure of Italy’s giants, seeing it as a sign of their rising status in the game.

Despite expressions of sympathy from UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin, Crystal Palace were ultimately relegated from the Europa League to the English Football Association League.

In the first leg of the English Football Association League play-off, Mateta scored Crystal Palace’s first European goal, securing a victory over Norwegian side Fredrikstad.

Before the international break, Crystal Palace defeated Aston Villa in the Premier League, having previously drawn with Chelsea and Nottingham Forest.

Munoz, suspended for one game due to accumulated yellow cards, did not play in Colombia’s match against Bolivia; the team next faces an away game against Venezuela.
