World Sports: Nico only wants to go to Barcelona, ​​he is younger than & he is willing to cut salary by & he has a good relationship with Barcelona players

June 18, According to World Sports, Nico Williams only wants to go to Barcelona, ​​and he has now surpassed Dias to become the first choice target for winger signings that Barcelona considers.

Barcelona needs to introduce a winger this summer, and his previous preferred target was Liverpool's Luis Dias. But Liverpool's asking price for Louis Dias is very high. Three weeks ago, Barcelona asked Luis Dias and his agent to put pressure on Liverpool clubs in the hope of reducing the transfer fee to 60 million euros, but neither the players nor the agent took active action, which led to the delay in the transfer negotiations. Barcelona has now begun to lose patience, and they hope to complete the transfer as soon as possible and allow new players to participate in the pre-season training camp that will begin on July 13, rather than delaying it until later.

"World Sports" pointed out that in contrast, Nico Williams, another target of the Barcelona winger, has a very positive attitude. Nico Williams has stated that if he transfers to Athletic Bilbao, he only wants to join Barcelona. Moreover, Nico Williams' contract has a 58 million euro termination clause (plus other expenses such as taxes totaling 62 million euros), and Athletic Bilbao is unable to stop Barcelona from signing players.

Age is also an advantage for Nico Williams. Compared with 28-year-old Louis Dias, Nico Williams, who is only 22 years old, can sign a longer contract with Barcelona, ​​such as signing for 6 years. This will help Barcelona amortize player transfer fees for a longer period of time and reduce the club's financial pressure.

If Luis Dias joins Barcelona, ​​he will only sign for 3 or 4 years. Even if the transfer fee is the same, the amortization cost of Luis Dias will be higher than that of Nico Williams per season. If Barcelona wants to sell Nico Williams in the future, he still has a big market. Once Louis Diaz is over 30 years old, it will be more difficult to sell at a high price.

In addition, in order to join Barcelona, ​​Nico Williams is willing to lower his previous salary requirements, which is also attractive to Barcelona, ​​which is striving to control the team's total salary. Barcelona also hopes Nico Williams can convince Athletic Bilbao to accept installments, but this is not feasible due to poor relationships between the two clubs.

Another thing that is good for Nico Williams is that many Barcelona players have a good relationship with him and are happy to see him joining Barcelona. Many Barcelona players and Nico Williams are already teammates in the Spanish national team, and they cooperate with each other, which is also conducive to his rapid adaptation after joining Barcelona. Taking into account the above factors, Nico Williams has now surpassed Luis Dias and has become Barcelona's first choice goal.
