From Player to Owner: Martin Braithwaite’s Wild Espanyol Comeback Plot!

After getting ‘disrespected’ at Espanyol, Martin Braithwaite plans to come back and buy the club! Talk about a major plot twist!

In a surprising turn of events, Martin Braithwaite, the 33-year-old Danish striker formerly of Barcelona, is reportedly considering buying his old club, RCD Espanyol, after a tumultuous exit. Just weeks after parting ways with the LaLiga side, Braithwaite has claimed that he was treated poorly by the management, which is why he left. The drama surrounding his departure only adds to the intrigue of his potential return as the club's owner.

Despite making a move to Brazilian club Gremio, it seems like Braithwaite sees a brighter future for himself back in LaLiga - but this time in a business suit rather than on the pitch. With an impressive net worth of around £250 million, the former Barcelona player could very well turn the tides for Espanyol, especially after feeling ‘disrespected’ in his previous tenure there. Who would've thought a pro footballer would want to don a suit and become an owner faster than you can say ‘transfer window’?

While many players might sulk in their new settings after a difficult breakup with an old club, Braithwaite seems to have a different approach, setting his sights on a takeover instead of just moving on. Reports indicate that the Danish forward, who is quite the rich footballer, has already begun to contemplate making a bid to become Espanyol’s majority shareholder. It’s as if he’s saying, 'If I can’t play for them, I’ll buy them!' Talk about being dedicated!

If successful in his ambitions, Braithwaite would not only secure a stronghold in LaLiga but also have the unique opportunity to reshape Espanyol’s future. This is a captivating saga of redemption and ownership, where a player’s dissatisfaction transforms into the pursuit of power. Let’s hope his new role brings a positive change and possibly a championship trophy (or two) to the club!

Did you know? Martin Braithwaite is known for stepping into high-pressure situations, famously scoring important goals with Barcelona including in LaLiga, where he's tackled some of Spain's fiercest defenders. With the wealth and experience he brings, he might just make Espanyol stand tall in the Spanish football landscape again. Who knows, one day we might witness a Braithwaite-led Espanyol lifting the LaLiga trophy in celebration!
