Barça remain convinced, and have remained so throughout the summer, that Nico Williams will wear the Blaugrana shirt next season. Sources within the club have assured SPORT that “He told us he wants to come this summer.”
This is, without a doubt, the first step towards the player eventually playing alongside his friend Lamine Yamal. Since his breakthrough at the European Championship, which they won with the Spanish national team, Nico Williams has been there on behalf of all Barcelona fanswhose dream is to see both of them together at Barça.
However, according to the same sources, it is now time to design the necessary structure to finance the payment, something that will not be easy, but which is essential for the operation to be carried out. Barça believe he will sign next week. If everything falls into place and, as the club claims, the player has given his final approval, the transfer will be closed. In fact, the player’s will was what should have resolved everything.
Laporta, yes or yes
To do so, in addition to having seduced the player with a contract that is worthy of the signing they want to make, something that Deco began to forge in the meeting he had with his agent, Félix Tainta, in Zaragoza, they will also have to pay the termination clause. It is not an easy figure because Barça must assume 58 million euros to which must be added the CPI. In total, about 62 million euros.

Nico Williams is undoubtedly the player who, throughout the summer transfer market, and together with Dani Olmo, at the same level as the Navarrese as seen with his first arrival, is the one chosen by Joan Laporta. The president is willing to go all out to build a winning team with Hansi Flick in charge.
