The culebron Martin Braithwaite run its course. With 10 days to go until the market closes, the Danish operation is still on standby. However, now it is Majorca who has called Mateu Alemany and asked for him. As reported by the Majorca Newspaper, Pablo Ortells and the culé sports director have held talks for Martin Braithwaite. The vermilion seek to get a loan that allows them to take over the services of the player.
Celta or Getafe were the two LaLiga teams that were best positioned to sign Braithwaite, but the player’s refusal to leave was the biggest problem. Now, the Javier Aguirre factor will be key, since the Mexican coach already knows the Dane during his time at Leganés. For this reason, the word of the ‘Basque’ in the operation would help Braithwaite leave Barcelona after a long transfer to Mallorca.
The problem, his salary
Martin Braithwaite earns 4 million euros net at FC Barcelona, an unaffordable record for RCD Mallorca. The vermilion are looking for the formula in which he arrives on loan and it is Barça who assumes a large part of the player’s file since, if not, it will be an unfeasible operation. Thus, both parties win: Braithwaite would continue to receive exactly the same and FC Barcelona saves, thus, salary mass. There is a week and a half left on the market and Martin Braithwaite can go to Mallorca until the end of the season to reinforce the attack. Muriqi would have more competition up front, in addition to that of Prats and Ángel.
