The management of Spain’s current champion, Barcelona, has been striving for two years to bring the bright leader of Athletic Bilbao, Nico Williams, into their squad, reports marca.com. However, the Catalans are finding it very difficult to accept that this transfer has not materialized.
According to the information, 22-year-old Nico Williams also attracted Barcelona's attention last season, but at that time, the player preferred to stay at Athletic. This year, when almost all conditions were ready and the Catalans started the final steps for the transfer, Williams officially announced the signing of a new ten-year contract with his home club.
According to journalists from the Catalan club, Barça’s management has now decided not to include Nico Williams in their transfer targets anymore. The club placed this footballer on the “blacklist” and from now on will never try to acquire him again.
This situation proved to be especially difficult for Barcelona, which had dreamed of bringing in Nico Williams, who made a great contribution to the Spanish national team’s success at the European Championship last year alongside Lamine Yamal. The team also tried to sign him last summer, but again to no avail.
In the new transfer window, Barcelona has once again been left empty-handed. Nico Williams’ firm decision to stay at Athletic and his long-term contract have made this one of the most important transfer events of the season.
Today, for the Catalans, the Nico Williams issue is considered closed. This situation once again demonstrated how competitive and full of unexpected twists the transfer market in Spanish football is. Read 'Zamin' on Telegram!
