“Total optimism for Nico Williams”in the edition of Sport this Tuesday. “Barça is waiting for Nico Williams’ yes”For World Sports. The Catalan press believes in it wholeheartedly, even if caution is sometimes required. Firstly because it is necessary to convince the 22-year-old player to choose FC Barcelona as the next step in his career. Secondly because the competition is not impressed by the intense pressure of the Blaugrana club.
So, The Athletic assures that PSG is in the race to sign the Spanish winger. Under contract until 2027 with Athletic Bilbao, he has a release clause estimated at €58 million. Relatively affordable for the richest clubs in the world, a little less for a Barça still limited by its precarious financial situation.
First contacts
It was said that Barça feared a Parisian offensive, because of its unlimited financial capacity. This is clearly what is happening, since initial contacts have taken place to take the temperature, explains The AthleticFor PSG, this would fill the need for a new left winger, since after the departure of Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid, only Bradley Barcola appears to be a specialist in the position.
PSG had previously targeted Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, before being put off by the firmness of the Neapolitan leaders and a price deemed excessive. For €58 million, the Parisian club can afford one of the revelations of Euro 2024, if it ever manages to convince the player. Because it is he who will hold the cards in hand.
