Earlier, Italy's Fabrizio Romano said Barca are ready to move forward with talks with Nico Williams' team from this week, with the salary structure being a key factor in the transfer. Flick has approved Nico as Barca's number one target this summer and time is of the essence as Premier League sides are also keeping an eye on the player.
As in previous tournaments, the champions' outstanding players are sure to be the cream of the transfer window. With Spain beating England 2-1 to win the European Championship, the transfer news of several "European Championship red stars" has also begun to become a hot topic for media reporters. The most talked-about of Spain's champions are undoubtedly Yamal, Nico Williams and Olmo, who have led the team to seven wins in seven games with goals and assists.
But it is impossible for Yamal to leave Barcelona, and Olmo has scandals with Manchester City and Bayern, and it is rumored that Blue Moon will pay 60 million termination fees to poach him. Nico Williams has also attracted the attention of a number of big clubs, with Barcelona being the most interested and active. Since Neymar's departure, Barcelona have not been able to find a real successor on the left side. With Felix's loan contract expiring, Barcelona do need to find a new left winger. And across European football, there is no better target than Nico Williams.
In terms of ability, Nico Williams is strong enough. With fast speed, strong breakthrough ability, and high ball quotient, the choice of handling the ball is reasonable. When to break through, pass, shoot is very reasonable, not only has a strong individual combat ability, but also can play tacit teamwork, is a top wing explosion, and can also output high-intensity defense, this is the type of winger that all managers dream of.
In addition, Nico Williams is a Spain player who has a good relationship with Yamal, and the two often play a very good link in the national team. For example, Nico Williams' goal in the European Championship final was assisted by Yamal. If the pair of flying wings are transplanted to the club, it will not only be an increase in combat power, but also a selling point at the box office. Just imagine, Nico Williams teamed up with Yamal against the 470 million trident of Biao Vinicius, Mbappe, and Rodrygo, and La Liga will usher in a grand occasion again!
Therefore, after the European Cup, Barcelona will accelerate the negotiation process. Nico Williams will certainly want to take his career to the next level by joining Barca, but there are still many difficulties to overcome before joining forces with Yamal, mainly financially.
The release fee of Nico Williams' contract is 58 million euros, which Barcelona must be able to get, otherwise they would have withdrawn long ago. The key is that after paying this money, will Barcelona be able to register Nico Williams smoothly? That's the key factor, and that's what Romano's report meant. In short, referring to Barcelona's operations in the past few transfer windows, even in the face of many difficulties, it was finally saved from danger. So it's possible that Nico Williams will join Barcelona this summer, so let's wait for the news.
