Leicester City’s chances of signing striker Martin Braithwaite have improved following the collapse of his proposed move to Olympiakos. The Foxes, along with Southampton and Everton, have expressed interest in the forward, who is a free agent after buying out his contract with Espanyol.
Olympiakos had been seen as his likely destination, with the Europa Conference League winners eager to secure a deal. However, according to Mundo Deportivo and Tipsbladet, Braithwaite has returned to Spain, with no transfer finalized.
Reports suggest that Braithwaite’s move to Olympiakos, which was intended to involve a medical and contract signing, is now off. This development opens the door for Premier League clubs, with Leicester emerging as a potential suitor.
Braithwaite had a standout season in Segunda B, scoring 22 goals and finishing as the division’s top scorer, contributing to Espanyol’s fourth-place finish. As Leicester seeks to strengthen their squad following their Premier League return, a free transfer for Braithwaite could be an appealing option.
