Real Mallorca move for Barcelona striker Martin Braithwaite

Real Mallorca are moving for Barcelona striker Martin Braithwaite.

The Dane is being encouraged to leave Barca by the board this month.

Diario de Mallorca says Mallorca are willing to sign Braithwaite outright after selling Matthew Hoppe to Middlesbrough.

At Mallorca, Braithwaite would be reunited with his former Leganes coach Javier Aguirre.

However, the striker will need some persuading to leave Barca, despite the board's stand.
