Barcelona forward Martin Braithwaite has asked the club to pay him his full salary before approaching him with a letter of termination, a report from Sport has claimed. The Denmark international sees his contract run out in June 2024, meaning Barca are legally bound to pay his due wages if they wish to sever his contract.
Barcelona, who already had Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Memphis Depay at their disposal, have added Robert Lewandowski to their ranks this summer. Braithwaite was already an afterthought before the Pole’s arrival, and, now, he is not even in contention to play under Xavi.
As per the aforementioned report, Braithwaite wanted to remain at the Camp Nou and fight for a place in the team. Xavi, however, reportedly told him at the end of last season that he was not in his plans for the 2022-23 campaign.
The 31-year-old was then left off Barca’s pre-season squad list and the Catalan giants approached him with an offer of release, giving him the full freedom to pick his next club. The player supposedly received multiple offers from Spanish teams, but turned them all down as his demands were not yet met.
Braithwaite reportedly wants Barcelona to play his entire salary (until 2024) before the two parties can agree upon a mutual termination of contract. Barca tried to negotiate his exit, offering him a year of pay, but the player did not budge.
Xavi’s side are reportedly determined to offload the player this summer, even if they have to buy him out. Braithwaite, who joined the club for €18 million in February 2020 is supposedly not interested in the sporting project anymore. Xavi, too, presumably doesn’t want such a player around.
Barcelona reject Braithwaite has a massive offer from Saudi Arabia
Martin Braithwaite may very well be deemed surplus at the Camp Nou, but the player is not short of suitors.
As per Sport’s report, he has already rejected advances from Spanish clubs, but there is one particular offer that could be too good for him to turn down.
It is believed that a Saudi Arabian club are interested in signing him and are prepared to pay him thrice his current salary at Barca.
If Braithwaite gets Barcelona to give him his due salary and then agrees to join the Saudi side, he could end up securing his financial future for the foreseeable future.

When you want to join and play for Barcelona first condition, don't ask for wages but be ready for cutting pay at least a half from your salary. This is a total robbery, and embarrassing.
and how this paining you ? you should know that every player want to play for barca even at a very less salary than other club offers. you know already what happened for you target players : they joined barca instead of your team knowning that . so are you wise than them ? barca is and will remain a great team .that's it !

Who told you they are owing him , he only depended for the remaining two year money must be paid before leaving which is wickedness
My friend, Barca is owing majority of their players. The reason Dejong refused to go is because they're owing him. They owe Pique £34m for his accumulated wages. Before Messi left they were owing him. Now, they're begging them to take wage cut when they're busy spending money in the transfer market. Who will take that?

Barca is never owning Braithwaite.. he was asked to terminate his contract he simply said No that he can only do that if Barca agrees to pay him off his remaining 2 years contract.. all you busybodies fighting Barca... you know what?
lf you are terminating somebody's contract, you are obliged to pay his full salary. If your negotiation is right, he may settle for less. Remember, he is not the one who wants to go, Barca wants him gone so they have to bear the cost. If clubs sack coaches when the contract is still intact, the club pays fully. How does that differ from that of a player?

Braithwaite and De Jong: If they can sell shares and rights to buy and pay new players, they can as well continue selling and pay us out.

One day, FIFA will ban Barca for all these irregularities. You owe players their sweat and you still throw money around to buy every available player in the market. These are irregularities in football. Agreement is agreement. You signed a player and now you want him out of the way without paying him his full wages. It's an injustice and if taken to court they will be sanctioned.

I am afraid for Barca"s future. Too many players little resources. How can they shift or cancel the contracts of all the unwanted players without repercussions? Eventually the club would have to be sold

What is so special about Barca? Barca has an identity in the world of football. What about Chelsea? Do you think winning the champions league is all that counts, then Aston Villa won it, so what?
