In February, due to the injuries of Ousmane Dembélé and Luis Suárez, the FC Barcelona board of directors made an emergency purchase. Recruited Danish Martin Braithwaite, a sharp, dynamic, aggressive and very capable striker, especially attacking spaces.
He started by giving up and responding positively. Suddenly, the break came due to the COVID-19 pandemic. And when soccer returned, Lucho Suárez became available again.
This, of course, represented that he practically stopped counting for Quique Setién. He has played very little. And, despite having left good feelings in the few minutes they have given him, it would be one of FC Barcelona’s sales during the summer market.
According to newspaper information Sports world, the culé directive has very advanced the negotiations with West Ham. The transfer would be around 20 million euros. That is to say: they would get a couple of million profit after signing him for 18 million.
He did not have minutes in a giant, nor could he help Leganés maintain the category (it was key there). The bet did not work for Braithwaite. And the worst thing is that the ‘failure’ was not related to their performance, but to the health crisis that affected the world.
Hopefully, if this version is confirmed, it can be shown in England.
The conditions to be an important player, clearly, have them.
Undefeated Data. Martin Braithwaite only played 403 minutes in the 2019/20 season with FC Barcelona. He made 1 goal. You will not be able to play the remainder of the UEFA Champions League (they incorporated it after the last date of registration in the European Cup).
Did you know…? Martin Braithwaite recorded 40 goals and 13 assists in 43 games with Toulouse. And with Leganés he scored 13 goals and put 7 assists in 48 games. Signing for West Ham would not be his first experience in England. He played the Championship with Middlesbrough.
