NICO WILLIAMS STILL ON THE AGENDA
Barça decides on Nico Williams and has a payment plan to convince Athletic
According to information from SPORT, FC Barcelona have the firm intention of insisting on the signing of Nico Williams to reinforce their left flank, although they are aware that it will not be an easy move.
Nico Williams carries a few months sounding like one of the players that the FC Barcelona has in his diary to reinforce his forward, although it renewed with the Athletic Club, in December, until 30 June 2027, with an important clause of rescission. The interest has not cooled and, although the Barcelona still do not have security that they will be able to go out to the market this summer, would have to the player of 21 years, once again, like priority.
According to an information of the newspaper SPORT, from the Barcelona entity have transmitted to the attacker of the group bilbaíno that have the intention to do with his services of face to the season 2024/2025. The managers of the direction of the Barça would have put in contact, again, with the agents of Williams to transmit him that it is the "elected" to reinforce the left extreme and that are had to do "all what is in his hands" so that recale in the City Condal during this summer.
The big problem will be the economic situation. As we commented before, the club still does not know if will have sufficient margin salarial to complete incorporations during the next months. First, they have to resolve all the folders that have 'pending', as the one of Barça Studios by the non-payment of Free of 40 million euros of the past year and the 60 'kilos' that they would have to credit this summer, to be able to see the options to fix the problems with the Fair Play financial of LaLiga and be in conditions to reinforce .
The supposed plan of the Barça with the clause of Nico Williams
To this, it is necessary to add him that with the renewal until 2027, the Athletic Club included in the agreement of the lower of Williams a clause of rescission that rises to the 60 million euros; a figure that the Barça would not be in conditions to disburse overnight. Thus, of agreement to the before quoted source, the plan of the culés 'raisin' by a 'striking' proposed to the 'lions' to credit the money.
The intention of the Catalans would be the one to put on the table an upper figure to the one of the clause of current rescission (€60m), with the 'condition' that they would pay it in several terms. It is an option more than complicated, because the bilbaínos have not stood out in the last years by, precisely, give eases for the traspasos of his players. With Nico, that is one of the stars of the team and one of the attackers with greater projection in Spain, will not be the exception.
