Spanish champion, FC Barcelona intends to establish its domination in Liga, despite the start of the attractive transfer window on the side of Real Madrid (Huijsen, Alexander-Arnold). To do this, the Blaugranas are off to finalize two recruits. Starting with the Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia. The goalkeeper will not have to change town and it was enough for the abutments to pay his release clause by € 25 million. Yesterday, the Blanquiazules confirmed, via their Chinese owner, Rastar, the payment of this clause of which “The product of this transfer may be used to complete the working fund necessary for the daily operations of Espanyol, which will have a positive impact on the financial situation and the operating results of the company.”
Another target of the Blaugranas, the winger of Athletic, Nico Williams, decided to repel all the offers to make room for that of Barça. We have also announced exclusively that a pre-agreement was found between the 2024 European champion with La Roja and the Catalan training. The latter will pay € 62 million (the € 58 million clause plus taxes) and offers the player a six -year contract with an annual salary of € 12 million. On paper, everything is wedged. However, the president of Laliga, Javier Tebas, took the opportunity to send a clear message to the Blaugranas.
Barça must sell
“It is one thing to formalize the signature of Joan Garcia and another to record it. They must make movements and see which players they will sell … I hear so many things … I don't know what is true of what is written. Barcelona is not in the rule of 1: 1. I believe that the other day they announced the payment of the Joan Garcia clause, but I do not know if they have already done so, I do not know much … Barça must do things to be able to record it, not much, but they must do things and they already know what it is, I will not say them, but we are not even on the dates, we will see “he said in remarks relayed by Mundo Deportivobefore continuing on the case of Nico Williams.
“I don't know, but in the end, we hear a lot. First of all, I don't know if what should be recorded is true, I don't know. But they do not yet meet the conditions to sign freely, they cannot yet sign with rule 1: 1. If they want Nico, they will have to sell and adjust their accounts to a large extent. »» FC Barcelona is warned. If he wants to enlist Joan Garcia and Nico Williams without problem, he will have to degrease. But that knows it knows that. As a reminder, Laliga made them no favor for the recordings of Dani Olmo and Pau Victor last winter.
