Despite an appreciated profile and a solid season at Athletic Bilbao (27 games, 5 goals in La Liga), the 22 -year -old winger is no longer among the priorities of Club Blaugrana. According to <em>Mark<\/em>the sports director Deco and the new coach Hans-Dieter Flick would have decided: no additional winger will be recruited.<\/p>\n<p>With the presence of Raphinha and the dazzling emergence of Lamine Yamal, the Bar\u00e7a considers his right corridor as sufficiently armed. A decision also dictated by financial considerations, since Nico Williams has a release clause estimated at 60 million euros, and would require an annual salary of 15 million euros. An investment deemed too heavy for a club which must still deal with strict economic constraints.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"fr\" dir=\"ltr\">&#x1f6a8; Barcelona will not sign Nico Williams or any other winger or any new striker this summer.<\/p>\n<p>(<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Luis_F_Rojo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Luis_f_rojo<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Bwi14G5ACU\">pic.twitter.com\/Bwi14G5ACU<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Bar\u00e7a News (@barcanewsfra) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BarcaNewsFRA\/status\/1912857777791181204?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 17, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Despite rumors behind the scenes, Nico Williams should not join FC Barcelona next season.
