Barça is not in the best financial situation, but it is still a great club. Many players would accept to pay less money to have the opportunity to play at Camp Nou , and this is the case of a player who is highly sought after.
His dream has always been to play for Real Madrid , but negotiations with the club and talks with Hansi Flick have finally convinced him. The signing is practically official, and Madrid sees how one of its own will play for its eternal rival.
This is Nico Williams. Journalist Eduardo Inda has revealed that the Athletic Club player has always wanted to play at the Bernabéu. Follower of the white club since childhood, now about to sign for Barça. Inda has assured that the signing is almost imminent, once Barça pays the clause, as the Basques do not want to negotiate. The player is already convinced to come to Barcelona and the Blaugrana club wants him.
According to the journalist, this agreement will be signed due to the impossibility of Williams signing for Real Madrid. Florentino is not interested, and the winger of the Spanish national team wants to make a qualitative leap in his career one way or another. If Madrid doesn’t knock on his door, he leaves for Barcelona. Despite being one of the fittest players at the moment, there is no place for him in the overcrowded white squad.
Mbappé, Vinicius and Rodrygo have a guaranteed place in the starting eleven, and Williams is not going to be a substitute. Even the figures of Arda Güler and Brahim would mean fewer minutes for the Basque winger. In Barcelona, on the other hand, he would be the undisputed star. The option came to be assessed in Madrid, but only on the condition that the player arrived free of contract. With his renewal with Athletic Club, interest faded and he was dropped from the wish list.
The problem for Barça is the Basque team’s refusal to negotiate. If they want to get the player they will have to pay the clause of 58 million euros immediately. According to Inda, this is impossible “unless they continue to play tricks with the levers and sell important players”. However, he sees it as very possible, and believes that the player will end up leaving for Barça.
When the European Cup ends , the Catalan team will get to work to make the signing effective. How they will do it is still unknown, but it is the main goal of the club. With this willingness and the acceptance of the player himself, it should be possible. Madrid will not get in the way and the footballer will play for the eternal rival of the team he would like to be a part of.
