According to top-tier source @martinezferran, Barcelona will pay Nico Williamsβ release clause between July 1st and 2nd, triggering the final stage of what is now being called βOperation Nicoβ. πͺπΈπ΅π΄
π₯ What this means:
β¬60 million clause will be paid directly to Athletic Club.
No negotiations β 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.
π£οΈ 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.
