There’s a complete and total agreement for FC Barcelona to sign Martin Braithwaite , according to a new report in Spain. The Catalans will reportedly pay the forward’s €18 million release clause after Leganés insisted they will not negotiate the price. Rumor has it that the team wants to announce the signing today, which has been delayed thus far for logistical reasons. Braithwaite will sign until June 2023.
It was said that Barcelona were ready to get Ángel Rodríguez from Getafe but ultimately manager Quique Setién wanted Braithwaite more. One key reason for that was that Braithwaite can operate as a centerforward or winger, while Ángel is a pure #9.
