On June 30th, according to the report from the Spanish media "Sport", the transfer of Nico Williams to Barcelona has currently hit a standstill. Barcelona is concerned about the current situation.
It is reported that Nico and Barcelona reached a verbal agreement on the transfer last week. However, when it came to putting the transfer into a contract, the negotiations stalled. The reason is that the player, through his agent, requested a written guarantee of registration, and Barcelona finds this condition unacceptable.
Barcelona has previously had problems with the registrations of Olmo and Victor. Nico doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes, and the agent has clearly stated that this request should be included in the contract. Barcelona has assured the player that the club's "financial fair play" situation will gradually improve and that they will be able to complete his registration. However, Nico's side believes this is not sufficient, and the current situation has also caused dissatisfaction on Barcelona's part.
At the same time, Athletic Bilbao continues to put pressure to monitor Barcelona's registration ability. Bayern Munich is also keeping an eye on Nico's situation. Next, it remains to be seen how the situation will develop and whether the player will relax his requirements for registration guarantees.
According to previous reports, Barcelona intends to pay the 58 million euro release clause in Nico's contract as soon as possible. According to Romano's report, Barcelona has already reached an agreement with Nico on personal terms.
