FC Barcelona maintains faith in Nico Williams and marks a key date

The name of Nico Williams seems to have 'cooled' in recent days in Barcelona. The Eurocup champion with the Spanish team was the great priority of FC Barcelona in the transfer market, but his operation was paused after various information maintained that the footballer had made the decision to remain under the orders of Ernesto Valverde in the Athletic Club, at least, for one more season.

This turn of events fell like a 'bucket of cold water' in Can Barça, where they practically took for granted the hiring of a footballer who, until a few days ago, seemed to welcome the option of wearing the Barça shirt from this summer. However, the pressure exerted from San Mamés on the forward would have had an effect, because when everything indicated that the announcement was about to 'fall', Nico decided to 'freeze' the culé offer to think more carefully about his future, which would be in Bilbao.

Despite this, the Catalan institution still has not lost hope of acquiring the services of Joan Laporta's great dream in the current summer window. At the Spotify Camp Nou offices they have everything ready to pay the 58 million euros of their termination clause, which would amount to 62 kilos due to the increase in the CPI (consumer price index). To deposit them, the only thing missing would be Williams' 'OK', and although he would be further away than before, the culés trust that he can arrive.

According to 'Cadena SER', sources within the club assure that they are still waiting for the 'green light' from the footballer and have set August 12 as the deadline to hear the final decision of the winger, who must rejoin the discipline of the Bilbao first team. said Monday. The Blaugranas maintain faith that the attacker will respond positively to the offer before the aforementioned day, although they are aware of the doubts that 'run' through his head.

Barça has everything ready, and Dani Olmo is waiting

From Barcelona they maintain that they are fully willing to hire Nico and assure that they can offer guarantees to the player, whose fears would include, among other things, having problems when registering with the club. On the other hand, Dani Olmo is watching closely how events unfold around the Navarrese, since the 'acceleration' of his landing in Catalonia could depend on the signing of Williams. If the player finally rejects Barça's option, the Catalans would go all out for the Egarense, who is crazy about returning home.
