According to the Spanish media Daily Sports, Barcelona is very angry at Nico Williams' contract renewal with Athletic Bilbao, and believes that he is used as a tool for Nico to renew his contract and raise his price.
Barcelona was shocked by the news that Athletic Bilbao announced the renewal of Nico Williams, which was completely beyond Barcelona's expectations. Barcelona has always been convinced that as long as the players nodded, they can finalize the transfer next week. The relevant procedures were ready, but Barcelona didn't know his decision until Nico officially announced his contract renewal. Barcelona's anger at Nico and its team reached its peak, who believed that Nico used it and did not tell the truth at the last minute, leaving Barcelona in a desperate situation after about two weeks of intense negotiations.
Barca believes that Nico Williams' team took advantage of Barcelona's offer and eventually signed a 10-year contract with a sharp increase in salary with Biba. Worse, they didn't even inform Barcelona of the final decision in advance, and this last move caught Barcelona off guard. After experiencing continuous contacts over the past few days, Barcelona is shocked and angry about this.
Barcelona delayed the deadline for payment of the termination until next week to give Nico and its agent more time to consider. However, what is waiting for is the official announcement of the player's contract renewal to 2035, which made Barcelona executives extremely confused. The term "angry" is no longer enough to describe their mood, and Barcelona is now working to find other signing targets to strengthen the roster.
