The world star for whom Laporta would give up Nico Williams and Olmo to 'break' the market

Nico Williams is the big goal of the summer at FC Barcelona. The Barça entity has worked incessantly on the incorporation of the footballer since the beginning of the transfer market and the only thing missing would be the Navarrese's 'OK' to pay his termination clause and obtain his signing. However, the Athletic Club de Bilbao winger still has not made a decision about his future and is beginning to 'despair' the culés, who are already looking for alternatives.

And both the Navarrese and Dani Olmo, in principle, are the two Barça priorities in this summer window. However, as both operations are subject to the final word of the youngest Williams, Joan Laporta is thinking of a 'bombshell' to 'break' the market in case the Spanish international ends up rejecting the Barça option, and this is where Jorge Mendes, renowned agent and friend of the president, has put Rafael Leao's name on the table.

The Portuguese would be the 'galactic' signing dreamed of by Laporta, and although he is not represented by Mendes' agency, he could act as an intermediary and bring closer positions between the culés and AC Milan. The winger is the top figure in the 'rossonero' team, and despite the fact that his performance was full of 'ups and downs' during last season, the footballer scored 13 goals and distributed 13 assists in 47 games played, making it clear that, even without being In his best form, he continues to be a decisive player.

For this reason, the newspaper 'El Nacional.cat' has reported that the Blaugrana president would seek to make a splash on the culé fans with the arrival of the Portuguese if Nico finally decides to stay in San Mamés. However, today, it seems like a practically impossible option, since the price of his operation would be prohibitive. A couple of months ago, the president of Milan, Paolo Scaroni, assured that "if someone is willing to pay 150 million for him, I will be the one to package it myself", making it clear that the forward would only go for that exorbitant figure.

Barça would give up the two Spanish stars

Despite this, in the Spotify Camp Nou offices they could find the formula to get the services of the Portuguese. The signing of Nico Williams would have a value of 62 million euros, while that of Olmo would cost around 60 'kilos', so, if the club decides to 'give up' these options, they could raise 120 million to offer him a package more than interesting to Milan fans. A priori, it seems like a very difficult 'dream', but the way things are in the market, no door can be closed and Laporta allows himself to 'fantasize'.
