It is the big failure of the Barça transfer window. Absolute priority as a left winger, Nico Williams had been in negotiations for several weeks with the management of Barça. And after weeks and weeks of rumors in the Spanish press, Bilbao announced against all expectations of the player's extension until 2031. A bomb while Barça hoped to conclude the file.

This Thursday, Joan Laporta explained himself on this file and gave some details.“Deco set a period of 48 hours and if they did not accept our conditions, we were not going to do this operation. There was a huge difference between what we had been told and what really happened in the end. (…) Nico's agent came and proposed to us. I preferred other players, but Deco convinced me to listen to them. ”
