Big blow in the transfer window of FC Barcelona since this Friday, the main target of the Catalans, Nico Williams (22), extended to everyone's surprise until 2035 with Bilbao. A decision that took everyone's shorter because the player seemed to agree with the Blaugranas. However, the financial situation of FC Barcelona and the possibility that it cannot be registered have weighed in the balance. While the president of La Liga Javier Tebas had announced that FC Barcelona could not record it, Miguel Galan, the president of the National Training Center for Spanish coaches criticized the boss of the Liga.
According to him, it was his intervention that caused the end of the Nico Williams soap opera: “Javier Tebas, as a liga president, made public statements indicating that FC Barcelona could not record Nico Williams. He also held meetings with Athletic Bilbao during which he would have disclosed confidential information. In this context, the player's agent, influenced and frightened by Javier Tebas, asked for the inclusion of a release clause in case the recording is not effective. A request (make a contract like that of OLMO) which was rejected by the Board of Directors of FC Barcelona, chaired by Joan Laporta, who considered such a condition as a need to lose 60 million euros. The agent was the factor that precipitated the failure of an operation that seemed closed, because it acts to defend the interests of Athletic Bilbao, especially if we consider that the agent has economic interests linked to other players in this institution.»
