JAKARTA - Martin Braithwaite believes he has everything he needs to succeed in Barcelona. The striker is determined to continue fulfilling his dreams at the Camp Nou.

In fact, it seems, the Denmark international has no place in the Catalan team's plans for next season. The club will have to sit down with the former Leganes man and set their intentions.

When Barcelona bought Braithwaite, they were in a pinch without many forwards. La Liga authorities granted Los Blaugrana permission to enter negotiations outside the transfer window due to long-term injuries to Ousmane Dembele and Luis Suarez.

It was a signing they made out of necessity, not choice. They paid 18 million euros for Braithwaite's services and even tied him up for five years.

Previously, some people thought Barca intend to keep Barithwaite. But now, it seems as if that is no longer the case.

The crisis due to COVID-19 has really put Braithwaite at a disadvantage. The pandemic brought football to a halt for three months just as it was showing signs of promise.

But unfortunately, not only Luis Suarez is recovering from injury, coach Quique Setien also prefers Ansu Fati to occupy the attacking position.

Barcelona needs to make a decision. The forward wants to stay and do well with the Catalans, but if they want to sign Lautaro Martinez then he won't get many minutes.

However, Braithwaite will make a decision. We will see later.
