Barça begins to prepare its planning without Nico Williams. The Navarrese seems to have decided to stay in Bilbao, so the Catalans are studying five options to reinforce the left winger

Calendar of FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona's planning suffered a severe setback after Nico Williams' alleged final decision was known. Although things can change from one moment to the next, everything seems to indicate that the Navarrese has chosen to remain under the command of Ernesto Valverde at Athletic Club, where he will take over from Iker Muniain and will wear the '10' next season. This scenario 'disrupted' the plans of the culés, who, having lost their priority on the left wing, are studying several options to strengthen the position.

THE POLL How much money would FC Barcelona ask to sell Frenkie de Jong to United?

Barça's alternatives

As it is, the club 'dream' of acquiring the services of Luis Díaz, who was on the Blaugrana agenda before they opted for the Basque player. However, the Colombian's operation could reach 70 million euros, a figure that is difficult to reach for the entity, so other 'low cost' alternatives are on the radar. One of them would be Kingsley Coman, an old acquaintance of Hansi Flick and whose future at Bayern Munich is uncertain, since the Bavarians would be in the process of getting rid of him and would agree to a simple loan, making him a good market opportunity for the players. Catalans.

A similar situation exists with Ivan Perisic, who was also under the German's command at the Allianz Arena and who, at 35 years old, could join the team as a free agent from Hajduk Split in the Croatian league. Different are the cases of Federico Chiesa and Jadon Sancho, for whom a transfer should be paid. The Italian is recovering the best version of him, but Juventus does not have him and would ask for a figure that ranges between 15 and 20 'kilos' for his signing. Meanwhile, the Englishman seems to have once again gained the trust of Erik ten Hag, but United would need to make money and would be one of the main targets, with his operation being around the same emoluments as that of the transalpine. Different options for a Barça that, almost certainly, will reinforce the left winger before the end of the market.
