Officials of the Spanish club Barcelona, headed by Joan Laporta, are seeking to sign a contract with the Spanish national team star during the current summer transfer period of 2024, to strengthen the ranks of the Catalan team.
Laporta wants to strengthen the team’s ranks in order to help German coach Hansi Flick lead Barcelona again to return to the podium after a very difficult season that the Catalan team went through.
In light of this, the Spanish newspaper “Sport” revealed that the Barcelona management wants to sign the player Neco Williams, the star of Athletic Bilbao, during the current summer transfer period of 2024.
The newspaper added that the only way the Catalan club can respond to Real Madrid’s deals during the summer transfer season is to sign Neco Williams, the Athletic Bilbao player.
The newspaper added that Barcelona wants to negotiate a reduction in the value of the release clause in the player’s contract, or pay it in installments, as the value of the release clause amounts to 58 million euros.
The Spanish club Barcelona announced, in an official statement, that it had signed a contract with coach Hansi Flick to coach the team, as it reached an agreement for the German to become the team’s coach until June 30, 2026.
It is noteworthy that FC Barcelona finished the Spanish League competition in second place with 85 points, which they collected after winning 26 matches, drawing 7 matches and losing 5 matches.
