“Barça have benefitted from an unfair law by signing Braithwaite”

The signing of Martin Braithwaite by Barça has not gone down well for Leganés. In a press conference by Martin Ortega, the club’s general manager stated that the club is “in a situation of enormous and serious damage. We cannot understand the current regulation”, he stressed. Besides, he also emphasized that the attitude of the footballer was impeccable, but that the current regulation is quite unfair.
Barça announced Martin Braithwaite’s signing on Thursday and Leganes was quick to react. Leganes gave a press conference in which it exposed its discomfort with the entire operation’.
“We understand that this regulation could be applied in case of mutual agreement between clubs, but the current regulation is against equality. We will focus on trying to fix a situation that generates irreparable damage,” said Martin Ortega, the club’s director.
“We want to raise our voice. We are in a situation of enormous and serious damage. We can not understand the current regulation that a club, having a long-term injury can perform this operation unilaterally and essentially transfer their problem to another club,” he explained.
