MARTIN BRAITHWAITE is set to be sold by Barcelona just six months after they controversially signed him from Leganes.
The Danish international was allowed to join the Catalans as an emergency signing in February.

That was despite timing being outside the transfer window as they met his £15million release clause following Ousmane Dembele’s injury lay-off.
But the deal was met with huge criticism.
Leganes were not allowed to sign a replacement for the forward, which seriously hindered them in their unsuccessful fight against relegation.
He scored just once in 11 appearances for the Catalans as they missed out on the LaLiga title to bitter rivals Real Madrid.
Now Mundo Deportivo claims Barca are ready to axe the 29-year-old former Middlesbrough flop this summer.
Despite still having four years left on his contract, he is already believed to have been told he is surplus to requirements at the Nou Camp.
Braithwaite is unable to compete in the Champions League for Barca next month.
And it is claimed his representatives are already sounding out his next employers.
His agent, Ali Dursun, is said to have contacted Real Sociedad, Mallorca, Sevilla and Osasuna over a potential deal.
