According to top-tier source @martinezferran, Barcelona will pay Nico Williams’ release clause between July 1st and 2nd, triggering the final stage of what is now being called “Operation Nico”. 🇪🇸🔵🔴
🔥 What this means:
€60 million clause will be paid directly to Athletic Club.
No negotiations — the deal goes straight to formalization.
Player has already shown full interest in the move and gave the green light weeks ago.
Contract will be until 2030, with a significant salary increase from his current deal.
🗣️ Deco, Laporta and Hansi Flick are fully aligned on this signing, seeing Nico as the ideal left-wing partner for Lamine Yamal on the right, creating one of the most explosive young duos in Europe.
⚽️ Barcelona’s summer signings so far:
✅ Joan Garcia (€25M)
✅ Nico Williams (incoming, €60M)
⏳ Rashford (loan being considered)
🔍 Roony Bardghji (negotiations ongoing)
🔥 Get ready, Culés — the blistering pace, technical brilliance, and direct style of Nico Williams is just days away from lighting up Camp Nou!
📅 July 1–2: Save the dates.
It’s about to get historic.
