It was strongly confirmed this summer that the management of the Spanish club Barcelona failed to conclude the huge deal expected for Nico Williams, the player of the Athletic Bilbao team, during the current summer Mercato, to support the attacking line.
\nThe Bilbao team insisted that its star would not leave this summer, and that he would stay until next season, despite Barcelona’s interest in signing him this summer.<\/p>\n
According to information received from the Catalan newspaper Sport, Nico Williams directed a request to Barcelona officials led by Laporta this season, which is to wait until next summer to sign him permanently.
\nIt continued, Williams confirmed to Barcelona officials that he will not be able to leave Bilbao during the current transfer period and will stay until next summer, and that he will not agree to leave for Paris Saint-Germain due to his great desire to play for Barcelona.<\/p>\n
The newspaper indicated that the request submitted by Nico Williams is not strange due to his club’s management’s insistence on his staying next season, but some reports indicate that it did not happen and is not real.
\nSome interpreted this as Laporta’s last response after being asked about the player, where he replied saying: “We don’t need him”, meaning that the player rejected the Blaugrana offer and did not postpone it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
