Laporta and Deco’s Dream: Create an Unstoppable Barcelona Duo with Spanish Winger’s Signing
Sources close to Barça Universal have revealed that Joan Laporta and Deco are keen on forming a powerful duo by signing Nico Williams from Athletic Club. Their vision is to position Nico on the left wing and Lamine Yamal on the right, aiming to create a formidable attack to rival Real Madrid’s offensive lineup.
Continued Interest Despite Changes
Despite Xavi’s departure, Barcelona’s interest in the Spanish international remains strong. The goal is to pair Yamal and Nico in the attack, replicating their successful partnership in the national team. With Hansi Flick on board, Nico Williams has emerged as the top candidate for the left winger position, seen as a player with significant promise and potential.
Enthusiasm for the Future
The club’s management is enthusiastic about having two young, fast, and dynamic players on the wings. They believe this combination will restore the depth and excitement lost since Ousmane Dembele’s departure.
Financial Considerations
Laporta and Deco are aware of the financial implications, with Nico’s release clause set at €58 million, up from €50 million following his last contract renewal. The price is considered reasonable given Nico’s potential and age. At 21, turning 22 in July, he is seen as a valuable asset with a rising market value, now estimated at €50 million, up from €30 million last year.
Previous Negotiations
Mateu Alemany, the former sporting director, had previously met with Nico’s agent, Felix Tainta, to discuss a possible transfer. At that time, there was a chance Nico could arrive for free as he had not renewed his contract. However, he eventually decided to renew with Bilbao in December. For now, Nico is focused on the Euro Cup, but his name continues to be linked with a move to Barcelona.
Barcelona remains hopeful and enthusiastic about bringing Nico Williams to the club, believing his addition will significantly bolster their attack and help them compete at the highest level.
