Barcelona striker deal in doubt

Reports that Martin Braithwaite is currently in advanced discussions with West Ham over a €15 million (£12.75m) move appear to be wide of the mark.

A report in Spain by Sport.ES  claims the two clubs are practically in agreement over the terms of the transfer but warned Braithwaite is yet to agree on personal terms with the Premier League side.

The report goes on to say that although Braithwaite is not currently satisfied with the salary being offered by the’ Hammers’, it is understood that a deal is close adding if they up their offer, the Danish striker would join.

With a contract until 2024, Barçelona is looking to offload the 30-year old striker who is desperate to get minutes on the pitch this season.

Club sources laughed when the Spanish report was put on them so we think we can safely ignore any deal is close as claimed with any interest also very doubtful.
