Barcelona are ready to set a transfer deadline on Athletic Club star Nico Williams as their talks. hit a crucial phase.
The Catalan giants are pushing hard in their renewed effort to bring Williams to the club after failing short in their pursuit of him last summer.
Barcelona chased him hard in 2024, on the back of winning the UEFA Euro 2024 title with Spain, but he opted to stay on in Bilbao.
However, the situation has changed since the start of 2025, and the 22-year-old is now open to the move to Catalonia if a deal can be agreed.
Barcelona club president Joan Laporta has confirmed they will pay Williams’ €58m release clause with Athletic Club unwilling to accept anything less.
Delays over the final details continue to cause concern of a collapse from La Blaugrana as they aim for a structured offer.
That is causing concern over what is happening in Barcelona as they grow frustrated over Williams’ demands as per Mundo Deportivo.
The winger wants assurances over Barcelona’s ability to register him as a La Liga player for next season without an issues – on the back of the Dani Olmo controversy at the start of 2025.
Williams has returned to Spain following his summer holidays and negotiations will now enter a vital phase with Barcelona demanding that a deal is signed off before they start preseason training on July 13.
Athletic Club start on July 9, and Williams is expected to be granted a few extra days rests, to potentially wrap up the final details.
His current side have flagged up their readiness to request La Liga to look into how Barcelona are aiming to finance the deal and if there issues that could cause a block which will revive Bayern Munich and Arsenal’s interest.

the problem with our board is that they talk too much before making a deal done
we don't have muscles other big clubs possess so Laporta is fighting for it and bargaining deals on fees and salaries

Barcelona ayaa ka walaacsan xaalada haatan taagan.  Waxaa lagu soo waramayaa in Nico iyo Barcelona ay heshiis afka ah ka gaareen kala iibsiga usbuucii hore. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, markii ay timaaddo wareejinta qandaraaska, wada xaajoodku wuu istaagay. Sababta ayaa ah in ciyaaryahanka, isagoo u sii maraya wakiilkiisa, uu codsaday dammaanad qoran oo ah diiwaangelinta, Barcelona ayaana u aragta shuruudan mid aan la aqbali karin. Barcelona ayaa horay dhibaato uga haysatay diiwaan gelinta Olmo iyo Victor. Nico ma rabto inay ku celiso khaladaadkii la mid ahaa, wakiilkuna wuxuu si cad u sheegay in codsigan lagu daro qandaraaska. Barcelona ayaa xiddiga u xaqiijisay in xaalada “Financial Fair Play” ee kooxda ay si tartiib tartiib ah u fiicnaan doonto isla markaana ay awood u yeelan doonto inay dhamaystirto diiwaan galintiisa. Si kastaba ha ahaatee, kooxda Nico ayaa aaminsan in tani aysan ku filneyn, xaalada hadda jirta ayaa sidoo kale keentay niyad jab dhanka Barcelona ah. Isla mar ahaantaana, Athletic Bilbao waxay sii wadaa inay cadaadis saarto si ay ula socoto awooda diiwaangelinta Barcelona. Bayern Munich ayaa sidoo kale isha ku haysa xaalada Nico. Marka xigta, waa la arki doonaa sida xaaladdu u horumari doonto iyo haddii ciyaartoygu uu dejin doono shuruudaha dammaanadda diiwaangelinta. Sida ay sheegayaan warar hore, Barcelona ayaa dooneysa inay sida ugu dhaqsaha badan u bixiso 58 milyan oo euro ee lagu burburin karo qandaraaska Nico. Sida lagu sheegay warbixinta Romano, Barcelona ayaa horey heshiis ula gaartay Nico oo ku aadan arimo shaqsi ah. la xiriira:Barcelona
