Braithwaite ‘passes’ by Xavi

The coach met last week with the Danish striker to advise him on a way out as he did not have him and his response was blunt: “I have two more years on my contract; I’m not leaving”.

Interesting aspects of the situation

There are some players who, by their actions, show that having well-filled pockets is more appealing to them than their sports career itself. One of them is Martin Braithwaite . The Danish striker met last week with Xavi Hernández, who made it abundantly clear that he does not count on him and that the best thing for all parties is for him to look for a way out, especially considering that the World Cup in Qatar is just around the corner from the corner and that in Barcelona he will not have minutes. Well, the international response has not been long in coming. Braithwaite has assured his country that his intention is to fulfill the contract he has with Barcelona, ​​thus ignoring the coach’s advice: “ I don’t plan to leave Barça. I have two years left on my contract.” 

The important details needed for the story

In any case, the Danish striker did not completely close the doors to an exit, by saying that “in football you never know what can happen, but I am very calm”. There is no doubt that Braithwaite will not be the only player to put a stop to the wheels when looking for a way out. His high chips and lack of sporting ambition are compelling arguments for shutting down a transfer. Fortunately, not all the players are so comfortable, some, like Philippe Coutinho , not only agreed to go on loan twice, but also in the end they have given the go-ahead for a transfer, knowing that his time as a Blaugrana was over.
