Munir El Haddadi Mohamed (Arabic: منير الحدادي; born 1 September 1995), known as Munir, is a Spanish footballer who plays for FC Barcelona B as a forward.[2]

Club career

Early career

Born in San Lorenzo de El Escorial, Madrid of Moroccan descent,[3] Munir scored 32 goals in 29 matches playing for CF Rayo Majadahonda's Cadete A team, on loan from Atlético Madrid, after impressing in a trial in 2010.[4] As a result he attracted interest from a number of sides such as Real Madrid and Manchester City, but signed for FC Barcelona's youth academy the following summer.[5]

Barcelona

Munir made his UEFA Youth League debut against Ajax U19 where he scored two goals.[6] He scored braces against Milan U19 and Copenhagen U19, finishing the tournament scoring 11 goals in 10 matches. He scored a brace in the final against Benfica U19.[7]

In the beginning of 2014, he was linked to a number of clubs including Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich.[8] In 3 March 2014, he extended his contract with the club keeping him with the club until June 2017 with a release clause of €12 million which increased to €35 million when he joined the first team.[9]

After being an unused substitute against CD Tenerife and Deportivo La Coruña, Munir made his professional debut for FC Barcelona B on 2 March 2014, in a 1–2 away win against RCD Mallorca in a second division, coming as a 72nd-minute substitute for Sandro Ramírez.[10] He scored his first goal as a senior player in a 2–1 home win against Girona FC on 19 April.[11]

On 24 August 2014, Munir made his official debut for the first team in La Liga, against Elche CF at the Camp Nou. He started the match and scored the second goal of an eventual 3–0 win before being substituted after 67 minutes for Pedro.[12]

International

On 29 August 2014, Munir was called up for the first time as one of 21 players for Albert Celades' Spain Under-21 team to face Hungary and Austria in September.[13] However, after an injury to Diego Costa, Vicente del Bosque called Munir up to the senior squad for the first time ahead of a Euro 2016 qualifier against Macedonia on 8 September.[14]
