Nico Williams is one of the big players in this summer transfer window, which is still struggling to get going. While it is true that most players who have played in an international competition are on vacation, some files are dragging on, and this is the case for the Athletic winger, who is coming off an exceptional Euro with La Roja. Enough to confirm his status as a player of the present and future.
We can also imagine that on Barça’s side, they would have preferred that the younger of the siblings not shine so much on German soil. Indeed, the Catalans have been coveting him for months already, but are struggling to close the deal. Which leaves room for other interested clubs, such as Paris Saint-Germain, as revealed by the Spanish press earlier in the week.
PSG and Williams, it’s serious
And World Sports says a little more this Thursday. We learn that the Parisian threat is considered very serious by the Barcelona management. PSG is said to be pushing behind the scenes, and is in a much better financial situation than the Barcelona team, which would allow it to activate its release clause of 58 million euros without trembling. Which Barça cannot do at the moment, not yet being within the financial fair play guidelines of La Liga.
And the situation is progressing slowly on the Catalan side… For the moment, the Barcelona players can count on the player’s favors, who is close to several players in the Blaugrana squad and has even given his agreement to the Catalan management. But we imagine that PSG will also have arguments to present to the player, author of 5 goals and 11 assists in La Liga last season and who will also surely want to settle his future quickly without waiting for the final sprint of the transfer window. To be continued…
