Spanish media: Barcelona says Nico s agent disrupted the deal, he demanded the contract to join the free departure clause

According to Sel Radio, Barcelona believes that Nico's agent has ruined the deal because he is protecting the interests of Athletic Bilbao.

reported that according to the Barcelona management, it was Nico who took the initiative to express his willingness to join Barcelona. In the past few weeks of negotiations, the players and Barcelona have reached an agreement on economic terms and contract length. He even wanted Athletic Bilbao to express his intention to join Barcelona.

However, just last week, his agent "requested to join a clause that allowed free departures and asked for a date of registration in July". Barcelona management rejected the request. For Barcelona, ​​these conditions are unacceptable. Therefore, Barcelona has communicated to Nico over the past few days that the terms have been agreed upon and he can choose to accept or reject the offer.

According to Barcelona, ​​the player's agent Félix Tainta had said that "the installment agreement can be negotiated", which is consistent with the promises made by Barcelona and Nico when they were close to reaching a deal last year. Barcelona insisted: "We believe that it was the agent who made a deal that had been negotiated fail because he was protecting the interests of Athletic Bilbao. He has multiple player clients in Bilbao and his business cannot be broken."
