Munir is very close to leaving Barça on loan

The future of Munir could be decided in the coming hours or days.

The player's agent will speak to Barça to find out first-hand the intentions of the club, but they have already come to the conclusion that he should go out on loan for a season.

That is the option that each party has in mind at the moment, and it seems an imminent prospect.

Munir has done very well in pre-season, but the technical staff feel that he should leave to get playing time at another club.

The agents, with Barça's consent, will begin to study proposals and the most probable destination will be abroad, despite the several offers on the table from Spanish sides.

The departure of Munir was planned if the Catalan club were able to sign another forward.

The meeting arranged to discuss the player's future leads us to believe that the negotiations to sign this other attacker are near to completion.

It is probable that Munir is included in the Barça squad for the Super Cup first leg on Sunday, but that would be his last game for the Blaugrana this season.

FC Barcelona have a lot of confidence in the progression of the player and renewed his contract until 2019, but he needs to play, and thereby grow as a footballer.

The clearest example is set by Denis Suarez, who left Barça only to return to the first team as an improved and more well-rounded player.
