Barcelona president Joan Laporta is not sure that the transfer of Athletic Bilbao midfielder Nico Williams will take place. Sport24.az reports that the Cadena SER portal has reported on this.
According to the source, the reason for this is that the 22-year-old footballer rejected the offer from Blaugrana last summer. Williams' actions last year touched Laporta's pride. Therefore, according to the club president, the first step towards the transfer should be taken not by the Catalans, but by the player's agent. Barcelona's priority transfer target for the summer is Liverpool winger Luis Dias.
A few days ago, there were reports that Barcelona would take out a loan from the bank to transfer Williams.
It should be noted that the Spanish footballer has been playing for Athletic since 2021. Last season, Niko scored 11 goals and made 7 assists in 45 matches in all tournaments.
