Transfers are ruined ❌Western media: Barcelona believes that Nico has one thing in person and another behind it, and the agent is involved in interests

Sel Radio wrote an article about why Nico's reversal in joining Barcelona and eventually renewed his contract with Biba.

Nico Williams had expressed interest in joining Barcelona, ​​but when he returned to Bilbao, he made the opposite decision. The player eventually chose to stay at Athletic Bilbao and extended his contract until 2035. The incident settled within a month, starting with Nico's agent Felix Teinta's first contact with Barcelona on June 9.

Before this, Barcelona had been considering other signing options such as Luis Dias and Rashford, while Nico Williams was not included in the club's plan. After a preliminary call, Nico's agent went to Barcelona on June 13 to meet with the club's sports management. The talks were held at the Torre Melina Hotel in Barcelona.

During the talks, the agent conveyed Nico's desire to join Barcelona and said that Nico is now more mature and that the transfer can be conducted under more favorable economic conditions (assets) considering Barcelona's current financial situation.

However, when the agent's meeting with Barcelona was made public, Athletic Bilbao made it clear: they will never negotiate with Barcelona. Although Barcelona has reached an economic agreement with the players and is ready to pay the termination fee, the deal has been complicated by the continuous new conditions by the broker.

These conditions include payment periods for players and brokers, which will negatively affect financial fair competition. In addition, tax protection is required, especially surprisingly, hoping to add a termination clause: if the player is not registered in La Liga by August 20, he will be free to leave Barcelona.

Barcelona is willing to let the player leave, provided that another club can match the 58 million euro termination fee. However, Barcelona believes these conditions are unacceptable and begins to realize that the signing may fail.

Last week, Barcelona gave Nico Williams 48 hours to decide his future. The deadline expired last Saturday, but until Wednesday, the player's agent contacted Barcelona to inform them that a meeting of the players and their team will be held to ultimately decide their future.

This Friday, Barcelona officially learned about Nico Williams' decision. Although this result was expected a few days ago, it was still surprising. Although the agent tried to show a mature image, it is widely believed within the club that Nico said one thing when he was in the national team and did another when he returned to Bilbao. In addition, they doubted the close relationship between the agent and Athletic Bilbao, as he also represented several other players, which was a key factor in the failure of the already prepared deal.
