Lionel Messi is also reportedly trying to influence a deal to bring 'Munir' El Haddadi back to Barcelona after being loaned out to rivals Valencia in August. The Argentine captain wanted the 21-year-old to be more involved with the first teamthis season, but boss Luis Enrique opted to sign Alcacerinstead.
