Barcelona want Munir El Haddadi to return after Valencia loan

Barcelona have insisted that they intend to welcome back Munir El Haddadi once his loan to Valencia comes to an end next summer.

The 20-year-old was sent to the Mestalla on Tuesday as part of a deal that resulted in Paco Alcacer heading to Camp Nou.

Valencia have the option to sign Munir permanently for £10.2m, but Barcelona's director of sporting institutional relations Albert Soler has claimed that they want the youngster back.

"The objective with Munir is for him to get minutes at a great club, and then return," Soler told reporters in this morning's press conference.

Munir joined Barca's youth academy in 2011, eventually making his senior debut in 2014.
