Barcelona are interested in signing Nico Williams from Athletic Club this summer, but the transfer faces some obstacles.
Nico Williams has a €58 million release clause, and some Barcelona directors are reluctant to pay that high price, especially since they feel Williams “harmed” the club by signing a new contract at Athletic Club instead of leaving on a free transfer.
However, Barcelona president Joan Laporta is pushing hard to sign Nico Williams, who has impressed for Spain at Euro 2024.
The 21-year-old winger scored and assisted in Spain’s 4-1 win over Georgia in the round of 16.
While the high transfer fee is a concern, Barcelona are determined to find a way to sign Nico Williams, who would fill an important need for the club at winger.
The club may have to make a significant financial effort to secure the transfer this summer.
