Barcelona forward Martin Braithwaite and RCD Espanyol are negotiating a possible deal with the transfer window due to close on Thursday.
In talks between Braithwaite and Espanyol, the Danish international has asked for a €3m signing bonus in addition to €3m net salary per year.
With those numbers in mind, Briathwaite's arrival is linked to Raul de Tomas' future. The Espanyol forward has been linked with several clubs this summer but has not left yet.
Espanyol would activate a move for Braithwaite, who already lives in Barcelona, if they lose De Tomas. Braithwaite values the fact he could remain in the same city.
