Daniel Munoz: Nottingham Forest close in on Crystal Palace star as £22m deal agreed

Standard Sport understands the two clubs have reached a full agreement, with Forest set to pay a fee believed to be in the region of £22million.

The Colombian named on the bench as Palace lost 4-1 at home to Manchester City on Friday evening, where he was an unused substitute by Pierre Sage.

Oliver Glasner, whose side claimed a 2-2 draw away to Liverpool in the early kick-off on Saturday afternoon, has been keen to reunite with Munoz after the pair enjoyed a successful two-and-a-half-year spell at Palace.

The wing-back was an integral part of the Palace side that won the FA Cup and the UEFA Conference League in successive seasons under Glasner, who left Selhurst Park in the summer.

But following the Austrian’s departure, leaving upon the expiry of his contract in June, Munoz’s future had been cast into doubt.

Khalaili made his full Palace debut against City, starting in Munoz’s stead at right wing-back in Sage’s 3-4-2-1 formation.

The Reds have made checks on the Senegal international but have as yet not entered formal club-to-club talks.

Striker Jean-Philippe Mateta had been angling for a move away but now looks set to stay after being ruled out for up to a month with a hamstring injury.
