The factor that most worries Athletic with the signing of Nico Williams for FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona is entirely focused in trying do of the services of Nico Williams during this market of summer of the season 2024/25. His incorporation would be a big hit for the club, since it would joint possibly one of the most lethal pairs that saw in the recent Eurocopa in Germany, together with Lamine Yamal. Both 'cracks' showed a football 'disfrutón', relentless and with a really special style.

However, so that the Barcelona cast can concretise this incorporation, still has to fulfil with the regulations of the 'fair play' financial of LaLiga and arrive to the rule 1/1. This is something that concerns to the Athletic Club, since while more time happen and the Catalan picture do not resolve this situation, less margin of manoeuvre will have the Basque club for fichar a possible replacement for the forward navarro, in case that the Barça finish for crediting the 58 M€ of the clause of rescission of the lower of the brothers Williams.

Lamentably, for them, if the FC Barcelona takes too much in doing his movement, the 'Lions' will have less capacity of action to try cover the important drop that would mean the exit of this key piece in the offensive aspirations of the diagram of Ernesto 'Txingurri' Valverde. It is necessary to remember that the window of signings veraniega in Spain culminates on 31 August 2024 to the 23:59 (CET).

The Athletic Club no longer has the option to go in in the 'territory Rivaldo'

In this sense, the clubs of LaLiga no longer can benefit of what knew like the 'territory Rivaldo'. This mechanism protected to the teams that lost to a player because of the cancellation of his clause of rescission in the 15 previous days to the closing of the market of transfers, awarding them an exceptional term to reinforce with a footballer of LaLiga.

"If in the 15 natural days previous to the date of ending of any of the periods of registration, a player terminated of unilateral way the valid labour agreement with his team protecting in the Royal decree 1006/1985, the entity in which this was inscribed, will have of an exceptional term of 30 days to explain from which produce the rescission to be able to inscribe to a new player", expressed the General Regulation of the Real Spanish Federation of Football. This regulation put in force from the become in the year 1997 when the FC Barcelona paid the clause of the Brazilian Rivaldo to the Sportive The Coruña leaving almost without margin any to the Galician cast to be able to replace to the 'spicy' player of the 'Canarinha'.

Nevertheless, this profit was deleted by the RFEF in the summer of 2020. Therefore, if the operation by Nico Williams delays a lot and concrete in the last days of the market, the Athletic Club will have little space of action to try look for to a relief of guarantees and will see limited to two options: purchase to a player in record time, just before the closing of the window of incorporations, or try find some available footballer in the market of free agents.
