TA: Barcelona believes that Nico s termination fee is not a problem, the only obstacle is registration

The Athletic reported that Barcelona believes that Nico Williams' termination fee is not a problem, and the biggest obstacle to trading is player registration.

Barcelona has reached an oral agreement with Nico Williams on personal terms. The winger, who is highly pursued by giants such as Arsenal, Liverpool and Bayern Munich, has listed Barcelona as the first choice. Although the La Liga champions pay termination fees are not a problem, the issue of cap space registration needs to be resolved, which makes the transaction unable to be completed immediately. However, the club is confident that the 22-year-old star will be included in the luxury front line this summer, and the players believe in Barcelona's promise.

Williams' favor for Barcelona stems in part from his close relationship with Spanish teammate Yamal, an anonymous source in Bilbao admitted that the players are about to switch to Barcelona, ​​a move that could exacerbate tensions between the two clubs. As early as the summer window of 2024, Barcelona chased Williams with Arsenal, Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool. At that time, Bilbao Chairman Uriat issued a statement emphasizing: "Biba has the financial resources, social influence and competitive level to retain players of Nico Williams' level."

Liverpool refused to release Barcelona's preferred target Louis Dias this summer, which indirectly contributed to the deal.
