The reason why FC Barcelona is trying to accelerate in 'Operation Nico Williams'

The FC Barcelona does not want to lose time to close the 'Operation Nico Williams'. The signing of the extreme of the Athletic Club is absolute priority for the Barcelona group and, in front of the insistence of several 'big' of the Premier League to tempt to the of Pamplona with a millionaire agreement, the directive of the Barça will try to credit what before the 58 million corresponding euros to his clause to close the traspaso, preferably, before it finalise July.

As they aim the last informations, Deco will gather again this week with the agent of the footballer, Félix Tainta, for ultimar details of the that will be his agreement like culé. In the meantime, the directive looks for to close several necessary operations to return to the rule 1:1, a fundamental step to be able to fichar without problems this summer, in addition to guaranteeing the registration of all the staff before the start of the season.

The Barça moves index cards to return to the rule 1:1

In this sense, Joan Laporta looks for to close, once and for all, the on sale corresponding entry of Barça Studios that the bottom investor Líbero had to pay to finals of 2023, in addition to the payments pednientes of NIPA Main and socios.com. In total, the club has to ingresar 100 million euros to avoid a desfase with the budget that LaLiga endorsed for the previous season. With the launching of Barça One (the 'Netflix' culé) and the new Barça Games, the club would not have to have problem to find new investors that amortise the debt accumulated, but the weeks manage without that this resolve .

Also it is pending to invoice the corresponding to the new agreement with Nike, an operation that neither luce feasible in the short term. The American mark already launched the clothing 24/25, but for now the bond keeps intact until 2028, once concluded the judicial battle that the parts had initiated does months. The another road to do box has to see with closing, at least, a pair of exits of footballers in brief.

In principle, the club no descarta terminate the agreement of Clément Lenglet, in addition to giving letter of freedom to Iñigo Martínez to save around 26 'kilos' gross in mass salarial. Another player in ramp of exit can be Vitor Roque, the one who would be the sacrificed in attack to open place in the staff to Nico Williams. Between the 'descartes' adds Sergi Roberto, the one who has very complicated to renew in spite of his intention to remain . More complex is the case of Ansu Fati, as the one of Bisáu has valid agreement and does not seem had to leave yielded again.

The managerial culé asks patience to the surroundings of Nico Williams

In front of the complex panorama of the club to have the 'ok' of LaLiga for fichar, the Barça asks to the surroundings of Nico patient and a margin of at least a pair of weeks to be able to close the operation. An important sale (Christensen, Raphinha, Of Jong) would clear the way to the 'crack' of the Athletic, but for now any of the culés with better market are had to go out.

In any case, in Barcelona there is concenso on the importance of fichar to Williams without that the forward have need to return to train in Bilbao. The idea is that the Basque was Barcelona player to all effects while the team contest his friendly of pre-season in the United States, being able to even debut in one of the three meetings of turns it American.

The negotiation with the Athletic by Nico Williams would not have to complicate

Regarding the negotiation with the Athletic, in Can Barça there is tranquility knowingly that, once have the sufficient money to pay the 58 'kilos' of his clause, will be able to close the traspaso without problems. What yes generates some worry in the Barcelona surroundings is the pressure of Chelsea that it also seems to go seriously to by the Basque extreme. In principle, the group 'blue', even, could offer some extra millions to the 'lions' to close the sale before and, regarding the wage of the footballer, also has the sufficient chequebook to offer better emolumentos.

The own sucede with the Arsenal, another of the 'big' of the Premier League interested in the one of Pamplona. From here that the Barça do not have to, neither much less, take the things with excessive calm. Andl 'ok' of Nico will be determinant to close once and for all the door to the English clubs, but while the player do not pronounce will follow existing the risk to lose him. In any case, what himself is sure is that the forward of 21 years will not take any decision during his holidays, which would have to conclude with the month of July.
