Barcelona are pushing to sign Leganes striker Martin Braithwaite today.

Barca have been granted permission by LaLiga authorities to buy an emergency replacement for the injured Ousmane Dembele and are now in deep discussions with Braithwaite.

The Dane's agent Ali Dursun is currently in Barcelona discussing personal terms with Leganes insisting the striker will only leave for his buyout clause.

Once contract terms are settled, Barca will cough up the €18m needed to ferry the former Middlesbrough striker away from their LaLiga rivals.

Barca have until Friday, March 6, to sign a new striker, but want Braithwaite's deal settled quickly in time for LaLiga games with Eibar on Saturday and the El Clasico next Sunday against Real Madrid.
