Sevilla sign Barcelona striker Munir El Haddadi at cut-price fee

Barcelona are five points clear atop La Liga, so ESPN FC’s Alexis Nunes and Paul Mariner predict a few of the more notable games. Sevilla have completed the signing of Munir El Haddadi from Barcelona for a fee of around €1 million.

Munir, 23, was out of contract in the summer and could have left Barca for free at the end of the season with no compensation for the club.
Barca had offered the forward a new deal but sources close to the player confirmed to ESPN FC that he did not want to extend his terms.
That decision did not go down well with the Catalan club, who then told Munir he would not play for the club again.
