It's the cold shower for FC Barcelona. Icy even. While everything seemed to be overlooked so that Nico Williams finally plays under the Blaugrana tunic, the Athletic Bilbao air conditioned the Catalans by announcing that his winger remained and that he had squarely signed a ten -year extension. A huge draft and a hell of a failure for Joan Laporta. Because it's been twice that Barça breaks its teeth on this backrest.
“RIDICULOUS”
Last year, the Cules dreamed of reconstituting the pair that had hit the Roja at Euro 2024. But once again, the finances of the club chaired by Laporta did not allow to quickly pay the release clause of € 58 million (€ 62 million including). The announcement of the extension of the number 10 athletic was therefore logically a shock for the blaugranas. And in Spain, nobody, apart from the fans of the club, will complain about Barça. On the contrary.
In Madrid, we do not hesitate to make fun of the Catalans. Starting with the famous journalist of AS A supporter you Real Madrid, Tomas Roncero. “Super Nico Williams, Super Athletic. Historical lesson in the face of the arrogance of Barça who thought he had signed it without having the money to pay the clause. Second ridicule (ridiculous word game + culled, editor's note) of a rush on the same stone. I laugh. »» AS Also made a pleasure on X by publishing a photo of a photo montage by Nico Williams with the Barça jersey accompanied by the following legend: “Well, let's delete it… okay?».
«They were deceived and they still cheated on us.»
For his part, The uncheck Published an article with the most popular “same” on X, including that of a user who has fun on the post of Athletic. Journalist Nacho Peña learned the news while he was live on the radio. And he does not understand the whole media circus of Barça. “It was settled very quickly after all that was said. I'm a bit shocked. Why did Deco speak? Last year, Laporta said he already had the money to sign Nico Williams, they let filter during I don't know how many days that the money was in the box and that it was now necessary to see how to sign it, Deco speaking on one side, Laporta on the other, Lamine making small dances … And Nico comes out and says that he remains at Athletic Bilbao. A historic ridicule larger than the fresco ”he said at the microphone of Radio brand.
Finally, daily life Sport Not really laughing, but the newspaper severely tackled Barça. “Barça learned from the Athletic Declaration that Nico Williams had left him in plan. They knew nothing at all. They were deceived and they still cheated on us. This is all that there is to say. Exactly like last year. (…) It is possible that the player's agent used Barça to extend his contract with Athletic, that the president of Athletic was a little cunning, or that the player's agent was the smartest of all, but the conclusion is that the little brother of the Williams remains in Bilbao and that Barça passes for a fool. With a ridiculous face, unable to justify anything and without an important player for next season. It is possible that all this has not happened if the club had agreed to sign the release clause required by Nico Williams in case Barça does not respect the rule of 1: 1, but whatever. The ridicule is dismaying and the credibility of the Azulgrana club is questioned. Let's see how they react now. At another time, they would have sought big money, but today they do not act like that and there is no money for that. In short, Barça tripped twice on the same stone and we believed it again. My most sincere apologies. »» The next speech of President Laporta or Deco is impatiently expected …
