Munir has been frozen out of the squad due to his contract situation, according to his agent, Francisco Valdivieso. In an interview with BeIN Sports, Valdivieso confirmed rumors that coach Ernesto Valverde had told his client he would not be picked to play until he renewed his contract.

Munir had reportedly chosen to see out his deal and join Sevilla on a free transfer this summer.

“The week against Celta, Munir hears the news from the coach that he will not be called up more until he decides to renew,” his agent said.

Valdivieso said Valverde warned Munir he would give rotation minutes to other players or even youth players ahead of him, due to the contract situation.
