Gremio’s surprise announcement: Danish striker Martin is here BraithwaiteThe former Barcelona player had recently exercised the clause to free himself from his contract with Espanyol after an excellent season that saw him score 22 goals, on the very last day he could do so, July 17, creating more than one headache for the Iberian club.
Everything suggested an agreement was coming with Olympiakos, but the situation was overturned with the statement issued by the Brazilian club. “Gremio reaches an agreement for the signing of Danish centre-forward Martin Braithwaite” – reads a post published on the Carioca club’s Instagram profile – “the athlete will come to Porto Alegre in the next few days to undergo medical examinations and sign a contract”.
