His career started in Esbjerg fB, a club from Denmark, before being transferred to French club Toulouse. He then had periods at Middlesbrough, Girondins Bordeaux and CD Leganés. But his unpredictable jump happened when Barcelona decided to pay his 18-million euros release clause to have him immediately back in February of 2020.

Braithwaite got the chance to play alongside Lionel Messi for aseasonand ahalfbecause the Argentine moved to PSG soon after. When he got there, he signed a deal that run through June of 2024. However, that never materialized since the club had to make moves to cut down their salary spending. In the midst of that situation, he got to an agreement to be set free and arrived at Espanyol. Here you can check out more details about his contract.

How much does Martin Braithwaite make?

His departure from Barcelona was not easy since he was asking for more money than the club was willing to pay. In the end, both parts were able to reach an agreement that set the Danish striker free to sign wherever he chose. He ended up leaving, but the attacker didn’t go far since he now plays for Catalonian side Espanyol.

Braithwaite’s deal is for three years for a salary reportedly higher than the one he had in Barcelona because he was able to arrive on a free transfer. According to Sport, he now makes around three million euros per year. That equates to €250.000 a month, €57.700 a week, €8.219 a day or €391 an hour.

Although Xavi Hernandez had a hard time trying to turn the La Liga giants around, it seems that the changes are finally starting to pay off. Barca’s 4-2 win over Atletico Madrid last weekend has brought hope back to the Camp Nou.

Ferran has already earned a spot in the starting eleven and it would be safe to say that Traore did so too, as he impressed in his seconddebut at the club. Aubameyang came off the bench and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he finds a place from the start from now on. Meanwhile, their arrivals also means there’s no room for everyone.

3 players who would leave Barcelona next summer

The new situation in Barcelona would lead to the departure of three players at the end of the season. The Catalans’ squad is suddenly overloaded with forwards and many of them would not have too much playing time anymore.

According to Sport, Luuk de Jong, Memphis Depay, and Martin Braithwaite would have their days numbered at the Blaugrana. Barca currently have eight forwards in their roster: OusmaneDembele, Adama, Ferran, Ansu Fati, Aubameyang, de Jong, Memphis, andBraithwaite.

That explains their need to free up space and reduce the wage bill. Dembele will probably leave in July as a free agent, but Xavi’s idea would still be to let some players leave to land a world-class striker. Erling Haaland is reportedly the dream target, althoughit sounds practically impossible.

However, de Jong would leave the club anyway because his loan ends in June and Barca would not be interested in making the move permament. Braithwaite, meanwhile, has never impressed at Camp Nou and wouldn’t have room with all the forwards who are ahead of him.

Memphis’ case is quite surprising as he has joined Barcelona this season and looked like the team’s best player at the beginning. His performances took a slump, though, and he spent time on the sidelines due to injuries. He hasn’t fit into Xavi’s system so far and, with his contract up in 2023, the report claims the club would try to cash in for him.

Both the Spaniard and Los Cules’ fans were eagerly waiting for this moment as it seemed like a matter of time before they were together again. But the emotional welcome is already part of the past and it’s time to work to get Barca back on track.

El Blaugrana need to bounce back fast from a weak start to the La Liga and the UEFA Champions League, and even though things may not change overnight, the club may have to make some modificationssooner rather than later. That’s why Xavi would letsix players leave in winter.

It’s rebuild time for Barcelona again. Another manager has failed to restore success at the club and Xavi will have the task to bring back glory days to Barca, where a number of players could see their way out soon.

According to Jose Alvarez of Spanisht TV show El Chiringuito, Xavi will put the following playersup for sale: Neto, Clement Lenglet, Samuel Umtiti, Philippe Coutinho, Martin Braithwaite, and Luuk de Jong.

It wouldn’t be a surprise to see any of them packing their bags in a few months as their spell with Los Cules left a lot to be desired, especially considering that Barcelona spent more than €200mfor all of them during Josep Maria Bartomeu‘s tenure.

Many of these players have been given countless opportunities to prove their worth and turn things around. But Barcelona can’t keep on wasting time and Xavi knows it very well, as he’ll try to deliver results from day one.

Sergio Aguero, Eric Garcia, Memphis Depay, and Emerson Royale have arrived atCamp Nou this summer. But Messi’s departure has been a huge blow and, with Aguero out for the beginning of the 2021-2022 season,Ronald Koeman had mentioned he would be willing to land another striker.

Braithwaite, 30, got off to an impressive start to the new campaign scoring a brace in Barca’s 4-2 win over Real Sociedad, but his arrival has never convinced fans. Therefore, if they receive the right offer for him, Barcelona would sell him and go after another forward. According to Sport, the Catalans have set their sights on these two Arsenal stars.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

It is not the first time Barcelona are linked with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The 32-year-old has been a complete standout for Arsenal since joining them in January 2018, for a $70.13 million fee, but last season things went downhill for him.

Auba has quickly become the team’s most prominent player and carried it almost all by himself for a long time. But in 2020-2021 his form decreased, scoring just 10 goals in the Premier League after signing a contract extension until 2023. He would be eager to join Barca, and his best days at Arsenal might be way behind him.

Alexandre Lacazette

Alexandre Lacazette‘s talent is undeniable, but he hasn’t completelylived up to expectations in north London. Arsenal paid $58.30 million to Olympique Lyon to acquire Laca in 2017, but despite showing glimpses of his talent, he struggled to be the dependable striker the Gunners were looking for.

The Frenchman is entering the final year of his contract with Arsenal so both parties might consider parting ways before he leaves for free. However, Barcelona would be unable to afford either player’s transfer fee, so they would have to propose swapping players with the English side.
