Nico Williams' agent Felix Teinta met with Barcelona director Deco and was reported by the media, which made Athletic Bilbao very dissatisfied.
Barcelona needs to introduce a winger this summer. Yesterday, several Spanish media reported that Barcelona's sports director Deco had met with Nico Williams' agent Felix Teinta to discuss the player's transfer issue. In addition, Barcelona has other wingers to sign, but it is too expensive for Liverpool to ask Luis Diaz for 80 million euros, and Perisic, whose contract is about to expire, is older.
Nico Williams asked for an annual salary of 12 million euros, the same as he asked last year, when Barcelona was also interested in Nico Williams, but ultimately failed to reach an agreement. However, last summer Nico Williams won the European Cup with the Spanish national team, showing the world his outstanding abilities. Last season, Nico Williams made 45 appearances at Athletic Bilbao, scoring 11 goals and assisting 7 times.
With his outstanding performance, Nico Williams once again attracted Barcelona's attention this summer, and Barcelona re-seeked it as a signing target. But Athletic Bilbao is dissatisfied with this public contact because Barcelona does not want to pay the players' full termination fee of 58 million euros, but instead puts pressure on this public meeting. The Daily Sports Daily said that the meeting between Deco and the player's agent did not help, especially Athletic Bilbao hopes that the meeting should be kept confidential, rather than leaked to the media.
Athletic Bilbao and Nico Williams' contract expires in 2027, and they are also trying to renew their contracts with players. This public meeting resulted in poor relationships between Athletic Bilbao and Barcelona. Athletic Bilbao regarded this as a provocation of Barcelona and would not agree to the price cut request proposed by Barcelona, and would insist on getting a full termination fee of 58 million euros.
