Martin Braithwaite is one of a host of players
expected to leave Barcelona in the summer transfer window after being told by
Xavi he’s surplus to requirements.
The Denmark international has said he wants to see
out his contract but he’ll likely spend the season on the bench if he does
stay.
Three clubs have already been in touch to ask
Barcelona about the forward’s availability ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.
La Liga sides Celta and Valencia along with Premier
League club Brighton & Hove Albion are all keen on the 30-year-old,
according to Mundo Deportivo.
Brighton manager Graham Potter thinks Braithwaite
might be a good option, and the striker knows English football from his time at
Middlesbrough.
Meanwhile, Valencia are said to be looking for
low-cost experienced players and Celta Vigo want a replacement for Santi Mina.
Braithwaite is contracted to Barcelona until 2024
but will surely struggle for game time next season, particularly if the
Catalans do end up signing Robert Lewandowski.
