FC Barcelona | Braithwaite, about to terminate his contract with Barça

The Danish striker will leave with a settlement slightly higher than a season’s salary

The Barça club can finally get rid of the player, who has not made it easy for him to leave until now

Martin Braithwaite is about to terminate his contract with FC Barcelona. The Barça club has already reached an agreement with the representative of the Danish striker, Ali Dursun, who has been in Barcelona since yesterday, to put an end to the relationship between the two parties. The player will receive an amount slightly higher than a year’s contract, which could be approximately three million euros. He had two left to finish.

The negotiation between Barça and Braithwaite has not been easy at all. Neither to end his contract nor to find an outlet for him in this summer market. The club was convinced that they could get money with him because they had received good offers from the English league but the striker did not want to negotiate because his intention was not to move, despite the fact that Xavi made it very clear to him in May that he did not count on him. The days went by and his posture did not change.

He was left out of the American tour and understood that his goodbye was irreversible, but he continued without making it easy for him to leave. Apart from requesting the letter of freedom, which the club agreed to grant him, he asked to be paid for the two years of his contract that remained. Finally an agreement has been reached for a little less.

Xavi Hernández, at last, can now work without the last two discarded who still remained in the squad, because yesterday too Samuel Umtiti’s departure was confirmed to Lecce.
