Barcelona keep scouring the transfer market and looking for a Munir El Haddadi replacement. They want a centre-forward with Luis Suarez the only option in the squad, while Abel Ruiz is injured and the B team has just Mujica available.

Many names have been linked, from Alvaro Morata to Fernando Llorente, via Odion Ighalo, Maxi Gomez and Tonny Sanabria.

Now Al-Nasr in Dubai have rescinded the contract of Alvaro Negredo, who will leave the division after scoring nine goals in three games.

The former Valencia striker, a Spain international with 20 caps, has a lot of La Liga experience, which is one of the characteristics Barcelona are looking for.

 

The 33-year-old is a zero cost option, something valued by Barcelona’s board.
