According to the latest news, negotiations between Williams and Barcelona have been suspended because the player wants written guarantees that he will be registered, and Barcelona cannot provide such guarantees. I would like to know what penalties Williams' side wants to see in the contract for violating this clause, but apparently they are serious since Barcelona does not want to include it in the contract. I don't understand why such behavior of the player surprises the management of Barcelona. Nobody wants to be tied to a contract and not have game practice.
Nico Williams has been in Hansi Flick's plans from the start. So for Barcelona getting Nico Williams was a top priority from the start. However, financial constraints were also an obstacle from the start. And then the obstacle this time came from Nico Williams who demanded a guarantee so that Nico could be registered. Meanwhile, Barcelona cannot guarantee this. And I think Barcelona really have to make a quick decision. Because yes, Bayern are also eyeing Nico Williams. But Nico Williams himself has wanted to join Barcelona since last season. So, personally, Barcelona remains ahead in the race for Nico Williams in the transfer market this time. Another surprising news is that Real Madrid is also starting to show interest in Nico. And yes, with this, Barcelona really can't delay any longer if they are serious about wanting Nico. And Barcelona really has to try to provide a guarantee to register Nico when he officially joins.
