It is indeed very interesting to talk about Nico William and Barcelona, ​​because he is one of the top players that Barcelona has wanted since last season, but it has not materialized. Meanwhile, Barcelona must buy him according to the release of Calus from Bilbao, and on the other hand, Nico's contract in Bilbao is still until 2027.

And the problem is, now La Liga has also warned Barcelona to be aware of La Liga's rules, regarding player salaries and registration. This happened because of complaints from Bilbao as conveyed here:
...



It doesn't look like Athletic Bilbao has complained about the situation.  Tongue  The source is Fabrizio Romano again so this very awkward...

He is still keen on completing the deal. Barcelona is only needed to pay for Nico's release clause and that's it. They just don't want any installments like I said before.

I hope Barcelona finishes it without making a regulation breach.
Personally for me I don’t think Barcelona need Nico Williams, if they wanted a left winger they would have gone for Ademola Lookman who is cheaper and more efficient. But then, I think they’re bringing him in based on his relationship with some of the barça players and he already has a sync with Lamine Yamal so adapting wouldn’t be a problem.

Nationality is a plus but I don't think Barcelona works like that. If they decide that a player enriches their game in any way they can think of, they will be willing to pay the price that the player os worth to be paid for. It sounds simple, and I think it is.

They have good references. What would they ask for if Yamal was to be bought out? Williams is not close to Yamal. Williams is good, Yamal is next level.
Nico Williams is from Spain so what do you expect, that Barcelona should leave their own soil player and go for an Africa player, NO I don't think so. However, Nico Williams collaboration with Yamal will be great in the attack because I have seen both players in action when they were playing alongside with each other. Joan Laporta knows what he wants.
