Official, there's no turning back, Nico Williams is coming to Barça and scares Gavi: 'Despe...'

After several months and even years of drama, Nico Williams will sign for Barça and will wear the club's colors until June 30, 2031, unless there are contract extensions. Barça will pay Nico Williams's release clause on July 1, but what's curious is that the Athletic forward won't arrive alone: there's another signing, and it scares Gavi. Nico Williams had demanded some conditions and Barça, led by Joan Laporta, has ended up giving in: the Navarrese star is coming with his best friend, who could cause Gavi's departure.

There's no turning back now: Nico Williams will sign for Barça and will do so accompanied by one of his best allies, who could cause a serious problem for Gavi, the Barça midfielder. Gavi already ended up playing few minutes under Flick in the decisive stretch of the season and now, with the arrival of another signing, he could start looking for a new destination. Nico Williams will sign his new contract with Barça accompanied by his great friend and the club already confirms that Gavi's future is more uncertain than ever.

If nothing goes wrong, Barça will pay Nico Williams's release clause this coming July 1. Nico Williams is valued at around €80 million, but Barça will pay only €62M (including the CPI) to release the forward from Athletic Club. The anger in Bilbao is huge, but it will be even greater when it's confirmed that Barça will sign another star from the Basque team: Nico Williams and another top midfielder.

Official, no turning back, Nico Williams is coming to Barça and scares Gavi: "Despe..."

Gavi, midfielder for Barça who came up through La Masia, isn't enjoying too many quality minutes and, consequently, it's not ruled out that he could leave the club this very summer. Gavi's camp denies it outright, but "e-Notícies" has been able to confirm that his discomfort is real: he wants to play more. In addition, in recent hours, Barça has made a move for another signing, who will arrive from Athletic Club along with Nico Williams, which is completely finalized and close to being official.

That being said, Gavi is also keeping an eye on Barça's moves in the transfer market: more competition could arrive. Gavi and his agent know it, which is why it's not ruled out that the Andalusian midfielder could embark on a new adventure this coming summer. Gavi knows that Barça is pushing hard for a friend of Nico Williams, something that worries him, and not just a little.

Nico Williams isn't coming alone: there's another signing and it greatly worries Gavi

Barça have secured Nico Williams, but Joan Laporta is pushing hard to finalize the arrival of another star from Athletic Club. "It would be the last straw," say Barça sources, who are worried about Athletic Club's possible reaction. In addition, they're also concerned about the situation of a Gavi who has lost prominence and who could leave Barça in this very summer transfer window.

Barça want Nico Williams, but they've also shown interest in Mikel Jauregizar, a 21-year-old midfielder from Athletic Club. Barça are closely following Jauregizar and aren't ruling out making a move for him in this transfer window. He has a great relationship with Nico Williams and his signing would almost certainly cause Gavi's departure.
