According to the Daily Sports News, Nico Williams has made it clear that he will only join Barcelona if he leaves the team.
According to each team, Nico's team currently only considers two situations: either stay at Athletic Bilbao or realize their dream of joining Barcelona.
The player excludes the option of transferring to any other club (Bayern and Arsenal have both had interesting players before), and made a private statement: If you leave the team, you will only go to Barcelona. He hopes to stay in La Liga, play alongside his friends, and join a project that appeals to him at both a competitive and personal level.
Barcelona has had direct contact with Nico's agent and the player himself. Nico's attitude is very clear. He is willing to join and is ready to accept the club's salary system.
Although he is not Barcelona's preferred target, he asks Barcelona to wait for him before making a decision, and he believes he is ready to take this step and does not consider any other options except staying in San Mames (Athletic Bilbao).
Meanwhile, Athletic Bilbao has submitted a proposal to renew him, including a sharp increase in salary and a significant increase in termination fees.
Barcelona is currently taking this matter with caution, and Luis Dias is still Deco's first choice, but his value is too expensive.
Flick has communicated directly with Nico and expressed his trust to explain his role in the tactical system.
