What a Euro for Nico Williams! While La Liga fans weren’t necessarily surprised by the Basque’s performances in the red and yellow jersey, given how much they’ve seen him shine at Athletic this season, the general public has discovered a spectacular and effective winger. One of the big revelations of this Euro, and confirmation that he can shine at the highest level.

Obviously, a player of this caliber has a high rating on the market. For months now, well before the start of the Euro, FC Barcelona has been very keen to sign him. The Catalan team has made the player its priority, and Joan Laporta has even claimed to be financially able to carry out a transfer of this magnitude. As a reminder, the player’s release clause is around 60 million euros.

There is only one detail left

In recent days, the Catalan press has even mentioned an agreement in principle between the Basque striker and the Barça management for the player’s potential future contract. And Relevo reveals new information. We learn that the Barça management is now convinced that Williams will land in Barcelona this summer. The Blaugrana leaders have no doubt that the Spaniard will be Blaugrana in the coming weeks. The media confirms, if there was still any need, the agreement reached between the player and the Barcelonans.

Another important element: Jijantes revealed tonight that Deco met with the player’s agent this Wednesday in Zaragoza to negotiate the salary conditions of the European champion. The arrival of Nico Williams is also a nice gift to Lamine Yamal, whom the club wants to pamper. There is only one important point left to settle. Barça must still be in the green with respect to the rules of the financial fair play of La Liga to have the right to recruit, and thus pay the release clause of the player. It will therefore be necessary to wait for an inflow of money, which could come from the deal with Nike, from a lever or from the sale of players…
