According to thisisfutbol, the London Stadium side have been told by Spanish giants Barcelona to raise their bid for 21-year-old Munir, to £12.5m.
It’s been reported that West Ham have offered £9m so far for the youngster who played out on-loan for another Spanish outfit, Valencia, but Barcelona are holding out for more. He made 39 appearances and managed 8 goals, as well as 3 assists.
Munir broke into the spotlight for Barcelona three years ago now, but with Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar to compete against for a spot in the starting line-up, Munir would be sensible to eye a move elsewhere.
However, West Ham aren’t the only side after the Spaniards signature, with fellow Premier League sides Southampton and Crystal Palace also wanting to bring the forward to the English league.
West Ham are desperate to bag themselves a quality striker this summer and with Munir already proving himself in the Spanish league, the 21-year-old has many years ahead to adapt to the Premier League.
He is a versatile player that can play up-front or on either wing and with his pace and trickery, he would be a great player for West Ham to get into their squad as they look to replace Robert Snodgrass, who was only brought in January, and Sofiane Feghouli, who is rumoured to be leaving the Hammers.
