It seems that the transfer drama about Nico Williams is far from been over. I thought it was over when a key figure in Barca management, Victor Font, said it was impossible to bring in the Spanish winger. Also, the signing of Dani Olmo indicated that Barca has given up on Nico. From the latest news, the young player wants to come to Barca, and Joan Laporta wants to make it happen by all means. And considering the club's financial problems, he is willing to sell players like Julian Araujo, Clement Lenglet, Mikayil Faye, and Vitor Roque to make this deal happen. Hansi Flick wants to build a team that will be able to put up a good fight against the dominance of Real Madrid and players like Nico Williams are good fighters to make that happen.

Perhaps this is just another rumor, Williams said that he wants to stay at Athletic Bilbao to reach the Europa League final with the club and a few days later he says that he has changed his mind. If you believe it, then Barcelona will have to pay about 62m together with taxes, this is a very decent amount considering that Barcelona is in a bad financial situation. There is information from Barcelona that they have set a deadline for Niko, he can give an answer before August 24, after which the offer will not be relevant, although with this deadline, everything is also somehow strange and also looks more like some kind of fiction or rumor.

There is no way Barcelona is paying anyone 62,000,000+ taxes at this moment. Because they simply do not have the money to do so right now. The only way they can afford such a player is by paying the money in installments. But I don’t think any club is actually going to accept any instrument offer when other clubs are going to pay them the money upfront or pay more money for the same player than Barcelona. I also think that this is probably some kind of rumor.

Here it says he has agreed to join Barcelona. And I don’t think that’s anything new. The biggest problem is Barcelona not being able to pay the money that his current club is going to ask for. Barcelona definitely cannot trigger the release clause.
