FC Barcelona’s attempt to sign Nico Williams was undoubtedly one of the biggest draws of the summer transfer market. Although all parties were willing to close the deal, the Catalan club was unable to reach an agreement with its Basque counterpart on the financial side.
And even though he had given Barcelona the thumbs up, Nico Williams is still a player at Athletic Bilbao. The reason is that the Catalan club’s financial coffers are too dry. The Catalan club had hope, but it would take a hellish alignment of the planets for the transfer to become a reality!
According to the newspaper Sportthe club chaired by Joan Laporta intends to relaunch the process, and the matter will be explained by the aforementioned media on Monday. The latter promises to reveal “the whole truth”. In the meantime, the reasons why the agreement would have been frustrated have been revealed.
With their sights set on the Basque winger, FC Barcelona are looking to sell players. At the top of the list are the two players who are currently injured, Frenkie de Jong and Andreas Christensen, who have been under consideration since last summer. However, their physical condition could slow down interest in them in the transfer market.
But that’s not all. A new deal with Nike could also ease the club’s financial situation by bringing in more revenue. The two sides held talks this summer, but failed to reach an agreement.
Could the recent performances and ambitions of the Blaugrana team allow Barça to attract Nico Williams for next season?
