Barcelona reject Roma approach for Munir as Real Sociedad and Alaves circle

The 21-year-old forward has attracted interest from Italy and domestic La Liga rivals but will not be let go for less than the Catalans' valuation

Barcelona have rejected a bid from Roma for young striker Munir El-Haddadi, and the club expect further interest from La Liga rivals Alaves and Real Sociedad.

What are the odds on Barca beating Juve?

Goal understands that the Italian team came in with an offer of a one-year loan for Munir that included a purchase option to be exercised in June 2018.

The bid, similar to the deal previously agreed with Everton for Gerard Deulofeu, now back at Camp Nou, was eventually declined by Barca, despite the overtures of Roma's new transfer supremo Monchi.
