The explosion of Nico Williams has altered the roadmap that FC Barcelona had for the summer

No longer it is secret that the FC Barcelona is having to Nico Williams like his big aim of summer. Although certainly the extreme of the Athletic was already the priority of the club by in front of names like Luis Díaz or Dani Elm, the Barcelona group also had clear that resolve the of a new forward had to come a bit after completing the 'operation pivote', but all has changed.

Like this it details it 'Sport', explaining that in Can Barça had clear that the big need of the staff was a defensive midfield player, but 'explosion' of Nico Williams has caused that his potential signing see of big impact for the club, surpassing for now the need of a new pivote. It is thus that now the Barcelona entity thinks more in the combination of the player of the Athletic more a midfield player that can be accessible, and no vice versa, that is to say, that a midfield player of first level and an extreme of a lower profile.

The Barça does not want to lose the option of Nico Williams

And it is that in the Barça have clear that the Athletic Club will not open to negotiate, by what will have to credit the 58 million the clause of exit of the forward, without the possibility to negotiate a lower figure. It is thus that the club has centred in having of the 'fair play' necessary to carry out the operation, forgetting for one moment of the situation to reinforce the centre of the field.

Although clearly it is missing an able midfield player to help in the destruction, especially if Oriol Romeu finishes going out and leaving his place for Marc Casadó, the Barça works thinking mainly in Nico, and only afterwards, will work in trying find an option that was able to add in the midfield of the Barça. In fact, the culés do not close to the possibility that finally it finished being a player to loan if this meant the arrival of the of Pamplona to the City Condal.

The Barça already has a big base in his centre of the field

The entity understands that to the margin to be able to fichar to a new player to help in the defensive work, the reality is that Flick thinks in playing with a double pivote, something that would help more to the balance, and for these two roles has right now to Christensen, Gavi, Ilkay Gündogan, Frenkie of Jong and Casadó, in addition to what can happen with Oriol, and even with Eric García, that could be a solution of emergency as it has been it Christensen up to now. They can act here.
