Barcelona have received the support of La Liga president Javier Tebas in their transfer pursuit of Athletic Club winger Nico Williams.
The Catalan giants have been heavily linked with a move for Williams ahead of the new season despite their financial issues.
Barcelona are continuing a policy of reducing the club’s wage bill to release funds and salary space to make an offer for Williams.
Athletic Club will not listen to offers which fall below Williams’ €58m release clause but the race for the 22-year-old is complicated.
Transfer expert Matteo Moretto believes Barcelona still need to complete a big money sale despite potentially being able to structure a payment over numerous years.
Tebas claimed the possibility of a deal is closer than before with Barcelona improving their fiscal picture.
“If they reach the 1:1 transfer level, they can do a deal. Barcelona’s effort to reduce their wage bill by more than €200m, and with other measures that have taken place, they can bring in a player like Nico Williams “, as per an interview with Diario Sport.
Tebas backed the idea of spreading the outlay over the course of his contract but a long term deal at Barcelona would add extra expense to a move.
No update will be made until next month with Williams set for an extended summer break after the final of Euro 2024.

Only reason why Barca was able to sign 6 was because the amount of income brought from just having Messi as a player, and Neymar’s transfer. But since bartomeu was trying his hardest to refill the net loss caused from Neymar’s departure, because the msn was so profitable the second he heard of a potential star player to put beside Suarez and Messi he didn’t care about how much the player cost. He fact that Laporta brought Barca back to being able to do 1:1 transfers is a miracle
that is y I said how is tebas now against Barca, infact he was one of the people that tried to make sure Messi n Neymar remained in Spain because of endorsement and brand look at mpabbe now, the ticket for his presentation sold out , his Jersey number out of stock, because is a brand, the guy is a laliga president and fo everything to compete with EPL media hype, do u know how many revenues eclasico brought to the league, so why will hr want barca down, if tebas has his way he will bring Halland to Barca

you love who. Tebas who is always against Barca? I don't trust that man cause he can wake tomorrow and begin to say no way we can't...
how is he against Barca by helping Barca out the mess, Barca is not stable economy wise, that is y they use that capping, do want Barca to fade out, do u know how many laliga club who went on relegation due to financial burden, they got relegated because financial constraints not because they didn't qualified, but laporta said same thing about it why isn't larpota seen that way
