The release clause must be paid immediately if Barcelona intends to recruit Nico Williams but to some extent Barcelona itself has not been able to.
It seems like this will be a failed transfer because I doubt Barcelona can meet the release clause fee with a slightly higher price, although Barcelona's interest in Nico Williams is still quite high.
Winning two trophies does not get Barcelona out of financial trouble and on the contrary they still have to pay such high salaries for several players.
Not to mention talking about the defense line which they should also think about and if several mainstay defenders also leave then the team's condition will not be good next season.
Barcelona, who are still quite aware of their current condition, will certainly not remain silent and will not be reckless enough in making decisions for things that can involve large amounts of finance. Although Nico Williams is a good player and would be very suitable if he could be in Barcelona next season, it has made Barcelona a little confused because in terms of Barcelona's ability to recruit the best players whose transfer fees are expensive, they are still very overwhelmed. And I hope Barcelona still wants to find a shortcut for this before Nico Williams is taken by another team.
