Nico Williams sends transfer message to Barcelona | OneFootball

Athletic Club star Nico Williams this week forwarded something of a request to La Liga rivals Barcelona, regarding their ongoing pursuit of his signature.

That’s according to Diario Sport, who have on Saturday provided an insight into the situation.

Wide-man Nico has of course already agreed on the terms of a contract with Barcelona, all the way through the summer of 2031.

With Athletic Club having made clear that they have no intention of negotiating a transfer with Barca, the Blaugrana have in turn been left with no other option than to pay the Spanish international’s exit clause, in full.

And it is precisely as much which Nico himself would like to see forked over at the earliest possibility opportunity.

As per a report from Sport, whilst the 22-year-old has not set many conditions for his joining Barcelona, he has sent one request to Deco and co:

‘He wants the payment of his clause to be done before July 9, the date on which Athletic returns to work to carry out the preseason. Nico does not want soap operas or speculation of any kind and is clear that the pressure he would have to endure would be very strong if he joins the discipline of the Basque team.’
