Javier Tebas, the president of La Liga, was the first to announce that Real Madrid had completed the deal for Kylian Mbappe before the Whites themselves announced any details. In fact, reports coming from inside the Santiago Bernabeu at the time confirmed the opposite.
In a similar situation, Tebas confirms that Barcelona is very close to signing a super deal that will please its fans greatly, given the player’s quality and remarkable brilliance in the Euro.
According to SPORT, Javier Tebas announced that Barcelona is close to completing a deal for Athletic Bilbao player Nico Williams, who is shining with the Spanish national team in the Euros and led them, along with Lamine Yamal, to the final against England.
Regarding the financial obstacles that may prevent Barcelona from signing Nico Williams, Tebas confirmed that the Catalan club can finance the deal and will not be punished for violating the Financial Fair Play rules.
“Barcelona reaching the 1:1 rule, they can do that,” Tebas said. “You have to think that with Barcelona’s efforts to reduce the wage bill and financial leverage by more than 200 million, they could ideally sign a player like Neco Williams.”
