An unexpected obstacle has emerged in the transfer long awaited by Barcelona fans. The Catalan giant's negotiations to bring Nico Williams into the squad have completely stalled in recent days. This situation has caused serious concern and dissatisfaction within the club management, reports Mundo Deportivo.
It is reported that an oral agreement had previously been reached between Barça and the young Athletic winger. The parties had agreed on a six-year contract and a satisfactory salary. They even returned to the terms of last year’s draft agreement. However, once this oral agreement began to be formalized in documents, the negotiations stopped.
This week was supposed to be the decisive time to finalize the transfer. However, through his agent, Nico Williams presented new and complex demands for guarantees regarding his registration in La Liga. Specifically, he is asking the club for written confirmation that he will be registered under financial fair play regulations. At the moment, Barcelona cannot provide such a guarantee.
It is worth noting that Nico Williams’ position is weakening the club’s confidence in this transfer. Barcelona were very optimistic about bringing him in, inspired by his successful performances with the national team.
The situation is further complicated by Athletic’s stance — they are not ready to release the player this summer. Additionally, reports suggest that Bayern Munich is also interested in him.
Barcelona has not officially withdrawn from the transfer yet, but recent negotiations have clearly reduced optimism. If no agreement is reached in the coming days, Nico Williams may give up on his dream of moving to Camp Nou. And the Catalan club could lose another young star. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
