    Paco Alcacer is a new Barcelona player




    Two strikers are heading in opposite directions after Paco Alcacer passed his medical to join Barcelona whilst Munir El Haddadi is expected to join Valencia.

    Although not officially confirmed, the Los Che forward signed his contract before boarding a flight to Madrid, where he joined the Spain team for international duty.

    It seems as if his move to the Blaugrana is complete but has not been made public because it depends on Munir's departure.

    The 20-year-old has ruled out a move to Celta Vigo, his first choice, as they could not agree terms.

    He has passed a medical in Madrid, where he is training with Spain, and so has completed one more step towards a loan transfer to Valencia with an option to buy for about 12 million euros.

    One of the Catalan club's priorities was to sign a striker this season to have an alternative in place in case one of their trident became injured.

    They toyed with many names but the problem was many of them would not want to be bench warmers for a lot of games during the season.

    One of the players they had in mind, Kevin Gameiro, opted to go to Atletico Madrid instead.

    But that is not such an issue for the 23-year-old who has youth on his side and is relishing the challenge, unlike the Frenchman who is 29.

    It is yet to be seen whether he will become another illustrious transfer from Los Che to Barcelona, joining the likes of Andre Gomes, Jeremy Mathieu, Jordi Alba and David Villa in deals worth 139m euros over the past six seasons.
