On June 14, FM reporter Santi Aouna and independent reporter Ben Jacobs broke the news that the transfer news between Spanish international winger Nicho Williams and Barcelona. According to them, Ni Williams is open to joining Barcelona and is even willing to significantly reduce his salary requirements, with an annual salary of only 12 million euros.

22-year-old Nicho Williams is from Athletic Bilbao youth training and is also an active Spanish international. Last summer, Nicho Williams helped the Spanish national team win the European Cup championship trophy again after 2012. Last season, Nicho Williams played in 45 games for Athletic Bilbao and contributed 11 goals and 7 assists, leading the team to the fourth place in La Liga and reach the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup. His outstanding performance has also attracted the favor of many European giant teams.

In fact, as early as last summer, Barcelona intended to activate Nico Williams' 60 million liquidated damages clause, bring him to the Camp Nou Stadium, and achieve the two wings of Williams and Yamal's forwards flying together to fight against the flower bush that signed Mbappe. However, at that time, Barcelona needed to complete a sponsorship agreement with Nike and Barca Vision that did not implement part of the sponsorship agreement to allow La Liga to approve the restoration of the "Fair Play 1-1 Rule", which took time, and variables appeared in the waiting process. With the registration issue, Nico Williams and Barcelona finally stopped at the rumor.

Now, Nicho Williams, who has only two years left in the contract with Athletic Bilbao, has once again become the hottest player in the summer transfer market. Big teams such as Bayern and Arsenal are also eyeing him. Among them, Bayern, who missed Wilz and the main left winger Sane, had a free leave after his contract expired, had a particularly strong idea of ​​signing Nicho Williams. However, the latter demanded a huge salary of 20 million euros in the negotiations, which also put the negotiations in a deadlock.

However, Nico Williams's requirements for his favorite Barcelona were immediately reduced a lot. During a talk between Barcelona director Deco and Williams' agent, the former was told that the player only asked for an annual salary of 12 million euros, which was also the number agreed on personal treatment between the two sides during their contact last summer. It seems that Nico Williams still has an Erzameng, otherwise he would not have faced the two giants of Barcelona and Bayern, with such a completely different attitude.

However, Williams is interested in falling flowers, while Barcelona is ruthless. The La Liga giants said their first choice to strengthen the winger position this summer is Liverpool winger Louis Diaz, not Nico Williams. The latter and Manchester United Prince Rashford are just candidates who failed to buy Louis Dias.

So, this transfer still looks a bit messy. AC Milan's Leo gave the green light to join Bayern, but Bayern interrupted contact with him to buy Williams. Williams spoke out loud to Bayern Lions and was willing to join Barcelona at a lower salary, but Barcelona said that Louis Diaz was the first choice. So, it depends on what Louis Dias said now.
