Valencia and Celta ask Barcelona about Braithwaite loan - report

Martin Braithwaite looks increasingly like leaving Barcelona in the summer transfer window after struggling for game time in 2021-22.

The Denmark international missed a large chunk of time after undergoing knee surgery but now faces intense competition for a place in the attack after the arrivals of Ferran Torres, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Adama Traore.

According to Diario Sport, Barcelona’s plan is to try and loan out Braithwaite as they know it will be difficult to sell the striker due to his injury problems this season.

Celta Vigo and Valencia have apparently already asked about the possibility of taking the 30-year-old on loan for the 2022-23 campaign.
