Braithwaite insists he wants long-term Barcelona stay

Martin Braithwaite insists he wants to stay with Barcelona long-term.

The 28-year-old, who joined from Leganes in late February, signed a contract that runs until the summer of 2024 yet is confident that he will play for Barcelona beyond his current deal.

"I am sure I am going to stay even more than four and a half years. That's how I see it in my head," he told ESPN.

"Right now I just want to go out and play, enjoy and win titles with this team because that is what I was brought here to do.

"At Barcelona I am looking at all these legendary players that played here, and all the periods where they had some of the best teams, and so one of my goals is to be able to say I played in one of the best Barcelona sides of a generation."
