Celta Vigo eyeing move for Barcelona striker Martin Braithwaite

There has been intense speculation surrounding the future of Martin Braithwaite in the last period.

According to the football transfer rumours in Spanish media, Celta Vigo are eyeing loan move for Barcelona striker Martin Braithwaite.

The 31-year-old has been subject to interest from various European clubs.

Braithwaite has been at Barcelona since 2020 when he joined from Leganés. The 31-year-old’s contract is set to expire at the end of the 2023/24 campaign.

The striker has banged in two goals and provided one assist in four matches last term on all fronts.

The 31-year-old is considered to be one of the best strikers in Denmark. As a member of Denmark national football team, Braithwaite won 56 caps and he scored 10 goals.

Adding a striker remains Celta Vigo’s top priority this summer and Eduardo Coudet will have drafted a shortlist of a number of possible targets he could approach in the coming weeks. He wants an experienced player that can be a leader on and off the pitch for him.

The Denmark international is thought to perfectly fit the profile of striker Eduardo Coudet wants to target in the summer transfer window.

Celta Vigo are in the market for just a handful of statement signings who can improve the first-team.

The former Leganés man provides a unique blend between a classic center-forward and the modern striker. His finishing abilities when in and around the box will come as a massive asset to Coudet’s side.

According to the report, “Celta Vigo are eyeing Barcelona striker Martin Braithwaite. Sport says Celta has approached Barcelona, as they seek a loan deal for Braithwaite. Celta are looking for a replacement for striker Santi Mina, who was jailed for four years last month.”

Euro Football Rumours

Celta will have to come up with the right proposal to convince Martin Braithwaite to join the club. It is claimed that Barca are open to letting Braithwaite go.

Good signing for Celta Vigo?

Nevertheless, Martin Braithwaite stands as an excellent option for Celta.

Braithwaite has all the skillset required to be a success story at Celta. Therefore, it makes sense for Coudet to step up his attempts to bring the Denmark striker to La Liga side.

Stylistically, he would be a great fit in Celta.

How strong that interest is and whether Celta Vigo will make a move remains to be seen but it is certainly one worth keeping an eye on.
