Espanyol striker Braithwaite: Barcelona wanted me out not for sporting reasons

Espanyol striker Martin Braithwaite has taken aim at former club Barcelona.

The Dane left Barca for Espanyol over the summer.

He said, “After recovering from the injury I thought I would continue there, I was ready, but I saw it wasn’t necessary.

“I had shown I could be important, but there was no opportunity to continue. It’s part of the game, that’s how business works. I knew they wanted to let me go, but I also knew it wasn’t for sporting reasons.

“At Espanyol I proved to be strong and better every day I couldn’t have done more, I built the foundations while everyone relaxed. I knew I would be called up to the World Cup.”
