Barcelona; Braithwaite one step away

Martin Braithwaite is about to arrive in Barcelona. In the midst of the corporate chaos after the outbreak of the I3 Venture scandal, there is also room in the Blaugrana club for football played with the purchase, now one step away, of the Danish striker of Guyana origins of the Leganes. According to Spanish media, in fact, Barca today informed the club of the autonomous community of Madrid that, after having had the go-ahead from the Federation for his membership, he will pay the clause of about 18 million. The player's agent has been in Barcelona these days to speak with the Catalan executives to whom he reported that Braithwaite would only arrive after the payment of the clause, which should take place between today and tomorrow. Barca coach Quique Setién hopes to count on the Danish striker for the weekend for the Liga match against Eibar at Camp Nou. Braithwaite will be able to play in the Liga but not in the Champions League, as the deadlines for the presentation of the roses are now closed.
