I repeat points:
A. His salary would probably be quite a bit less at another club. There are also other aspects such as moving etc, that we know nothing about, that can influence HIS decision.
B. Braithwaite is 31 and if his contract runs out at 32, the club can't really have expected to get a significant transfer fee in return. I think the previous board didn't care at all about what would happen long term though.
C. A move would probably benefit all parties but the player, he has all the right to look out for himself primarily for the remaining couple of years of his career.
Douchy is to sign a contract with someone and then expect the other part to go out of his way for you not to fulfill the contract when things change.
If FC Barcelona does not want to pay him what is rightfully his in the way they agreed, then they should try and negotiate a termination of the contract. It is douchy to bring morality into the business equation, especially when it is "the club" doing it vs the player.
edit: lol, his contract runs to 2024, I just read. So it should be priority for Barcelona to get rid of him, but it is not the player who should be charitable here, he can stay and play football to the best of his limited ability for the length of his contract without anyone having the right to criticize him, if he wants to.
Typical Bobo BS
A. His Saudi Arabia club Salary will be MORE
he is also very rich before even playing football. So cut all the moralizing crap about him being "father of two" and all that
B. The board only cares to get him off the wage bill, not about the transfer fee.
But this douche is refusing even the letter of freedom
Douchy is refusing to cooperate when you know that
1) There has been elections, new administration, new salary structure, and a new coach since November
2) The new coach has EXPLICITLY told you you are not in his plans, and you never gonna play a minute. You haven't also played all the months he has been in charge
3) The club has told you that they need you off their wage bill, and that they don't count on you.
DOUCHY is to want to remain at Barca not for the money, but for the prestige of being a Barca player and living in Barcelona, irrespective of the harm you inflict on the club, the team, and the coach. While you can go get more money in Saudi Arabia, if that's what concerns you
That's what DOUCHY is...
