I once made a comment like this and I was considered clueless and didn't understand football at all. In fact, before the season starts, we definitely talk about various possibilities based on what is on paper, based on the probability of the strength of each club with its coach, players and also club management. Because these three things honestly have a big influence on the club's performance and readiness to show their best efforts. The important thing is, we do not intend to bring down or underestimate other clubs, because each club is making their best preparations. However, so far, Real Madrid is the most solid, stable and ready for that, and they are still looking for and wanting to recruit several top players to further strengthen the squad. 

Indeed, Barcelona is really serious this time about prioritizing the arrival of Nico Williams to Barcelona. Even Barcelona has contacted his agent and negotiated with them regarding the Left Winger. In fact, Athletic itself has given the option to extend for 3 years, but this has not reached an agreement and there has been no progress, so we think that Barcelona really has a chance to get Nico Williams, especially at Euro 2024, along with his teammates in Spain, several Barcelona players also approached him to join the same club. Ha ha.

But unfortunately, based on the latest rumors, it is said that Nico Williams will still stay at his club, Athletic Club, for at least the next season. So, Barcelona still needs to continue to try harder if they really want to with a release clause which is certainly not small. Or with the option of waiting for Nico Williams' free transfer.
