Munir enters negotiations with Valencia

A loan deal is on the cards for Barcelona striker Munir El Haddadi, and Valencia rather than Celta Vigo is looking like the likely destination given Paco Alcacer's immenint signing for the Catalan club.

Munir may have already reached a verbal agreement with Celta, but the Blaugrana would prefer the forward join Valencia, and director of football Garcia Pitarch has already started to negotiate with the player's representatives.

Although the Catalans may insist otherwise, the Munir deal is dependent on what ends up happening with Alcacer, so that may sway matters in another direction.

Luis Enrique has called up the Madrid-born attacker for Sunday's match against Athletic Club at the Estadio San Mames, though whether he features or not may depend on developments in the next few hours.
