The operation to sign Nico Williams is accelerating and there is full optimism at Barcelona to complete the transfer of the Athletic Bilbao forward, even within a few days.
The Blaugrana club has everything ready to pay the player’s release clause of 58 million euros as soon as a complete agreement is reached with the player for the next five seasons.
Nico Williams wanted assurances that he would be registered and Barcelona believes there will be no problems for him to play from the first match of the new season in August.
Nico Williams has a strong connection with Athletic, but he is also clear that he cannot miss the opportunity to move to Barcelona if the operation is feasible for all parties.
The Catalans believe that the transfer will be completed within a maximum of 10 days, so Nico could become a Barcelona player within this month of July. The club has information that they will enter the 1-1 rule in the coming weeks and understands that Nico will have enough salary space.
After this, more space needs to be created to continue registering players, but the first to come will be the Athletic Bilbao player.
