Official Barça announcement after Nico Williams: 'He signs until 2030 and is worth €100M'

Barça considers the chapter of Nico Williams, left winger for Athletic Club, officially closed, as he will definitely not sign for the club presided over by Joan Laporta. Nico Williams, forward for Athletic Club, was on the list of possible signings for Barça, but the club already knows that the Spaniard will stay in Bilbao with Valverde for a long time. Barça explored the signing of Nico Williams, but the fast and skillful winger from Athletic Club demanded a lot of money to join the club and, therefore, was completely ruled out.

In addition, Nico Williams not only demanded a stratospheric salary, but also a set of guarantees in case Barça failed to register him in Javier Tebas's league. Barça already responds to not signing Nico Williams with another signing that, in fact, has already been finalized and made official. Barça needed versatile wingers with one-on-one skills and, after many weeks of reflection, has managed to reach a definitive agreement: goodbye to Nico Williams, he will not play for Barça.

Barça forgets about Nico Williams, but reacts to the Spaniard's contract renewal with Athletic Club: signing finalized, everything confirmed until the end of June 2030 and it will be official. In addition to being ruled out weeks ago, Deco has once again stepped forward to confirm that the signing of Nico Williams is off the table: Barça has another agreement with a star.

Official announcement from Barça after Nico Williams: "Signs until 2030 and is worth €100M"

Barça under Joan Laporta keeps working to start the winter transfer market on a high note, which could be important for Hansi Flick to have a new left winger. The German coach's priority was Nico Williams, current winger for Athletic Club, but Barça is clear that the winger will not leave the Basque club in the coming years.

Despite this difficult and uncertain situation, Barça is already making another signing official, which has been completed and is valued at about €100M. Barça wanted Nico Williams, but as we have been explaining in "e-Notícies", the arrival of the Spaniard was complicated for one main reason: the high salary demanded by the player.

Hansi Flick wanted to have Nico Williams, but Joan Laporta has a better and cheaper alternative: he is much better than Nico Williams, his value is €100M and the deal is done. The winter transfer market looks promising at Can Barça: it is not Nico Williams, but Laporta is preparing a much better signing.

Nico Williams is not the signing, but Joan Laporta does finalize the arrival of a new winger, already confirmed

Barça, as we have been reporting in this digital outlet, inquired about Nico Williams, who even spoke with Flick, but the conditions he demanded were "unaffordable", according to sources from the Catalan club. In addition, Barça wants Raphinha to keep growing, so the club's goal is to sign a winger who can connect with the Brazilian.

So said, so done: Barça has done it and is already making it official, he will sign until 2030 with real options to extend the contract. Barça has reacted very quickly after what happened with Nico Williams: Deco rules out his signing and Joan Laporta confirms the official announcement. Barça has forgotten about Nico Williams and, in large part, it is thanks to Marcus Rashford, who will stay at Barça until 2030, now as a permanent signing.

Rashford is on loan from Manchester United, but Barça will pay €30 million to acquire 100% of the sporting rights of the English winger, already perfectly adapted. The winger from Manchester is better than ever with Flick and Barça has made the decision after what happened with Nico Williams: signing finalized until 2030.
