Nico Williams would be much more interested in playing for FC Barcelona than he says

Nico Williams seems to have clear which is his best option of face to the future in case to leave to the Athletic Club this summer. Although the extreme has left clear that will not take decisions until it finish his participation in the Eurocopa, as well as the comfort and satisfaction that feels playing with the 'lions', the one of Pamplona understands that this is a moment ideal to give the jump to a club 'top' and, in this sense, the FC Barcelona outlines like the wisest alternative.

Further of the cautions that the player and his surroundings want to take regarding the leak of offers and other details on his possible goodbye to the Athletic, the true is that, to these heights, Nico would be anxious by the possibility to arrive to the Barça this summer. The big Eurocopa that he and the Selection have had in Germany would have convinced to the Barcelona directive to do an effort for ficharle and, in spite of the interest of other 'big' with a much stronger economy, the culés can have advantage in the market.

The index card of Nico Williams can be a headache for the Barça

Regarding offers, the Premier League is, for now, the main threat for the Barça with Nico Williams. Chelsea would be had to offer him an agreement by the order of the 18-20 million gross euros to the year, a difficult figure to equalise for the Barcelona group. For the moment, only three footballers of the Barça perceive equal or upper wages to that mount (Gündogan, Of Jong and Lewandowski). This factor also complicates the panorama regarding the possibility of fichar to Joshua Kimmich, the one who demands some emolumentos similar to leave the Bayern Munich.

In the 2023/24, Nico invoiceed around 8 'kilos' gross in the Athletic. If a club pays his clause (around 60M€), the logical is that the forward aspire to duplicate his wage, a stage that the group 'blue' can cover without problems. The Barça, instead, will try not incorporating players with upper wages to the 12-€15m gross not to engage even more his mass salarial, that follows exceeded and complicating the registration of the thickness of the staff.

Nico, had to expect by an offer of the Barcelona

In spite of this factor, the minor of Williams will not take hasty decisions. In fact, it is likely that give to the Barça a sufficient timeframe to present a formal offer, something that can occur in the second half of July. The directive keeps the confidence in having sufficient money thanks to the resale of Barça Studios and the new agreement with Nike, two 'crowbars' that will allow fichar under the rule of the 1/1.
