19 days before the playoff for promotion lives its last chapter in the form of the final that will give the ticket to the First Division, the Espanyol is full of unknowns and doubts, pending whether to continue next season in the Second or to return this in the maximum category of Spanish football.
But one of the things that, barring a big surprise, will not be different wherever the Spaniard plays, is that Martin Braithwaite will not continue at the parakeet club. Recall that last summer after calming the fire that started his ‘espantada’ from the Marbella stage, Garagarza agreed with the Dane that he would stay to help the Spaniard rise in exchange for facilitating his departure next summer- day, this June.
The top scorer can leave at zero cost if the Catalan team stays in the Second Division, or with a clause of around 650,000 euros if a return to the First Division is achieved.
And in this situation for Braithwaite, who turns 33 this Wednesday, June 5, ‘girlfriends’ are starting to appear who will fight for his signature. In the last few hours, according to published in Greece, PAOK Thessaloniki, recent champions of the Greek League, will focus their eyes on the leading Spanish scorer, according to ‘Inpaok.com’.
PAOK coached by Razvan Lucescu will comb the market in search of forwards with goals and the parakeet striker could fit into the plans of the Hellenic sports management. PAOK was proclaimed champion of the Greek league and will play in the next edition of the Champions League, another incentive to lure the top scorer.
There is plenty of cloth left to cut and plenty of time to go before the summer market, but the bidding for the top scorer in the Second Division has begun.
