Martin Braithwaite has long been considered a sales candidate at FC Barcelona. Now the Danish striker could apparently move to England.
Striker Martin Braithwaite is likely to move from FC Barcelona to English first division club West Ham United. The Spanish newspaper reports Sport.
According to this, West Ham and Barca should already agree on a transfer this summer. According to the report, the English want to pay a transfer fee of 15 million euros for the 30-year-old Dane, Barca have agreed.
Martin Braithwaite from Barca to West Ham? Salary still needs to be improved
However, there is still a need for clarification between West Ham and Braithwaite themselves. The 56-time national player is said to demand a higher annual salary than the table sixth of the previous Premier League season has offered him so far.
Since Barca are still dependent on transfer income, Braithwaite has long been considered a sales candidate despite the contract until 2024. The European Championship participant moved from Leganes to the Catalans for 18 million euros in February 2020, but rarely got beyond the role of supplementary player. Last season he scored seven goals and four assists in 42 competitive appearances for Barca.
