Barca could request another loan under Nico Williams clause

It is no secret that Barcelona’s priority to strengthen the left flank of the attack is Nico Williams, along with Lamine Yamal, one of the sensations of the last Eurocup. The president of the Barça club himself assured that they have sufficient financial resources for a signing of such a scale, but this does not mean that the operation will be easy to carry out.

Athletic do not plan to negotiate for their best player and are demanding full payment of the termination fee, which amounts to 58 million euros.. Moreover, he is not willing to split the payments, so any team intending to sign Nico Williams already knows that they will have to pay a million dollars up front. And Barcelona does not have that much liquidity at the moment, so they are looking for ways to use 58 million euros.

And, logically, the easiest way is to resort to a bank loan. A few months ago, the newspaper La Vanguardia already published information that the Barça club was negotiating a loan request of 100 million euros, and SER notes that they may request another loan to pay the clause terminating the contract with the striker. If he does that, perhaps the hardest thing will be finding a place for him in the squad. For that to happen, there will have to be departures, preferably on a high salary, because Nico Williams will have a high salary.

Barcelona and the player made progress on contractual issues after Deco and the player’s agent Felix Tainta met in Zaragoza on Wednesday.
