Released by Pescara in Italy last year, Muntari made his name with Inter Milan (2008-2011) and then AC Milan (2012-2015) where he also played for Seedorf when the Dutchman was in charge of the Serie A giants. Deportivo La Coruna are second from bottom of La Liga, three points from safety and have won just once in their last 14 league games.
