Munir's agent Francesc Valdivieso said: "Barcelona told us their intention was to sign a new striker.
"Munir has to understand that it could compromise his sporting chances and stack things against him.
"Munir's opinion hasn't changed: he wants to stay at Barcelona. He would accept a loan but based on the names appearing in the media, he feels he can beat all of [the competition] so he is also thinking of staying to show he is the best choice.
"He is ready to take decisions by thinking by himself. He is not scared of staying - he would choose to stay.
"I can't guarantee Munir will be a Barcelona player on September 1. Many lines are still open. Munir is brave and will take the best decision knowing some big European clubs, some of them playing in the Champions League this season, have real interest in him.
"These are very interesting proposals but we have to work with them a week before the market gets closed, not two days before it closes; it wouldn't be the best thing to wait until the last days of the market to decide the best option."
