Newcastle United are reportedly interested in Barcelona’s Munir El-Haddadi. Swansea City should consider making a move for him.
According to reports from The Guardian, Newcastle United are showing a keen interest in Munir El-Haddadi and have discussed a move for the Barcelona forward.
Rafael Benitez has already added six new players to the Newcastle squad, but the Spaniard feels that more attacking reinforcements are needed.
Barcelona are demanding a fee in the region of £18 million for the Spanish forward, according to Mundo Deportivo, but they will be willing to listen to offers.
With this in mind, Swansea City should make an audacious attempt the sign the Spanish forward, who is deemed surplus to requirements at Barcelona.
The 21-year-old boasts an impressive CV, having won two La Liga trophies, two Copa del Reys and the 2015 Champions League already.
Munir spent the last season on loan at Valencia, where he scored eight goals in 39 games across all competitions.
Swansea have money to spend on an attacking midfielder having sold Gylfi Sigurdsson to Everton for a reported fee of £45 million.
The Swans are reportedly in for West Brom’s Nacer Chadli, but his £25 million asking price set by the Baggies could prove to be a stumbling block.
From that respect, Munir provides a better value for money. He is a versatile young player who is capable of operating on both the right and the left, as well as playing as a front striker.
Munir is a technically gifted attacking midfielder, who would add extra cutting edge in the final third. He can score and also can create for others.
The Spaniard is a highly talented footballer, and his signing would represent a statement of intent from the club.
