After an animated market of winter, the FC Barcelona saw forced to close a signing of emergency, Martin Braithwaite. The Danish landed in the Camp Nou after a 'clausulazo' to the Leganés, because after the drop of Luis Suárez, in front of which decided not acting -and reserve money and a place for the summer-, also fell Ousmane Dembélé, that equally went through the operating theatre and will be moved away of the terrains of game during six months.

The one of Esbjerg was presented this Thursday, and will contribute effort and illusion to the forward in the final stretch of the campaign. Obviously, it is a 'patch' in a year in which the injuries have not had mercy of the changing room, but obviously, does not come to stroll and will treat to help in the battle by LaLiga, giving besides an important rest to Leo Messi, Antoine Griezmann and Ansu Fati of face to the eliminatory of Champions League.
