Braithwaite arrives as a medical joker for FC Barcelona, ​​who lost Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembélé to injury. The Catalans saw in him "a tireless striker", "who brings more than goals", who is distinguished "by his work and his will" and who can play on both sides, according to the club press release.

It was well worth a release clause of 300 million euros. Hopefully for the Catalans that Braithwaite brings more than Kevin-Prince Boateng last winter. For that at least, we don't worry too much.
