Rivaldo, the renowned Barcelona player, has cautioned the team against hurrying into a transfer for Nico Williams. The Catalan club is actively seeking to secure the 22-year-old from Athletic Club this summer. Barcelona aims to manage the deal carefully, with discussions expected to continue until August before a final decision is made.
Although Barcelona fans are optimistic that Williams will join soon, Rivaldo mentioned that no deal for Williams is likely to occur following Real Madrid’s acquisition of Kylian Mbappe.
“I genuinely care about Barcelona, but I can’t deny that Real Madrid is currently ahead,” he said. While it would be beneficial for Nico Williams to join Barcelona, the team needs to make one or two additional signings to become the global sensation that rumors from Marca suggest.
“Barcelona needs to demonstrate that they are on par with Real Madrid. Adding Nico Williams could be a step in the right direction, but they need to prove themselves, especially in El Clasico.”
“Barcelona can’t rely solely on signing Nico Williams to outmatch Real Madrid with Mbappe.” There won’t be any updates on a potential deal in the coming weeks since Williams is on an extended summer break and Barcelona is still working to secure the funds necessary for an offer.
