Martin Braithwaite, the Danish forward known for his recent move to Brazilian club Gremio, is reportedly eyeing an audacious purchase of Espanyol.
Despite having offers from Olympiacos and other clubs, Braithwaite chose Gremio for a fresh challenge outside Europe.
Football has been a lucrative career for Braithwaite, but his main source of wealth comes from successful investments in real estate in the U.S., a fashion line, and hospitality ventures. His estimated net worth exceeds €300 million, enabling him to seriously consider buying a football club.
Danish media reports suggest that Braithwaite is still bitter about his dismissal from Espanyol, where he was once a player. He is rumored to be contemplating purchasing the club and potentially removing the current management. While Braithwaite has the financial means, it remains to be seen if the Chinese owners of Espanyol would be willing to sell the club.
