Martin Braithwaite, as top scorer in the Second Division, has been key in Espanyol’s season. It is true that in the playoff, all the spotlight went to Javi Puado thanks to his goals (he scored one against Sporting and a double against Oviedo, which gave them promotion), but The Dane is vital in this parakeet group. Now, starting June 30, despite having a valid contract, you will be able to decide your future because your termination clause is only 600,000 euros.. The parakeet club tried to extend their relationship a year ago, but Braithwaite did not accept. After the match, despite the euphoria, he broke out and remembered the board and the sports director: “I don’t know if I will continue or not. A year ago the club made me a renewal offer, but it was disrespectful. We’ll see if they want me to stay here or not, with the offer they made me a year ago it wasn’t proven, they didn’t trust me,” he said on DAZN. In the celebration on the pitch, the Dane felt the affection of the fans with “Martin stay”.
His words were reproachful, but it is not clear that he is leaving because he is very happy at Espanyol. Braithwaite is clear that “I worked hard to get Espanyol up to First Division. I can leave free, but I am very happy to go up to First Division.” The Dane asked for a time of reflection, “I need some rest. Now is not the time to talk about these things, enjoy it because it is a very important moment.” It seems that, now in First Division, he may be one of the leaders of the team, but you never know. He will have to wait. The Dane, who made a mistake in the summer and tried to leave so as not to play in the First Division, ended up demonstrating a commitment and a sense of belonging that is worthy of praise.
Apart from him, the one who also spoke after the duel was Puado. The hero of the promotion with his double did not hide that “We were confident that we were going to do it. It was my turn to score the goals, but we all deserved him. It was a very hard year. It was 90 minutes on this lap and we knew they were going to be very long. Oviedo is a very strong team, they had a very good tie, but we had the return leg at home. This is incredible”.
