World Sports: Barcelona hopes that Nico can sign a contract without registration. Nico is discussing whether to join

July 4th, "World Sports" reported that Nico Williams will meet with his family and agent to decide whether to join Barcelona.

It is reported that the Athletic Bilbao winger plans to hold an important meeting with his immediate family and representatives to make the final decision. Nico's first choice is still to join Barcelona, ​​but negotiations with the club through its main agent Felix Tanta reached a deadlock later last week.

Nico hopes that Barcelona can guarantee that if he cannot register for him in La Liga, he will be allowed to leave the team freely. However, this request was rejected by the club's football director Deco, as it could cause serious legal problems for the club.

Barca firmly believes that they will comply with the 1-1 financial rules of La Liga and make the required salary space for signing identified goalkeepers Joan Garcia and Nico Williams through sales, loans and contract renewals.

Nevertheless, Nico's request was not met. According to Barcelona legal experts, if the club promises to leave Nico freely after paying €62 million and still fails to register for Nico, the financial loss could trigger a series of legal lawsuits against the club’s president and sports managers, which could lead to severe penalties as they may be considered as jeopardizing and damaging the club’s property.

Barca hopes that Nico Williams can sign a contract like Dani Ormo did last season even without registration guarantees. Olmo's dream is to return to where he grew up, and he trusts the club's registration guarantee. Eventually, Olmo was able to successfully register due to Christensen's injury and missed two rounds of the league. Barcelona believes that there will not be too many difficulties in player registration this year, but some unfinished operations still need to be completed.

Barcelona is unwilling to take risks, so Nico must trust the club. If he is unable to register for him, Barcelona is willing to let him leave, but the same transfer fee is required to be paid for the club that accepts him. However, to write this additional clause into the contract, there is still time to complete before the transfer window is closed.

As for paying Nico's termination fee (58 million euros plus inflation rate, a total of about 62 million euros), sources revealed that an agreement could not be reached and the termination fee payment could not be activated until Nico gave his final reply. If he agrees to join, the parties need to sign a contract, approve and sign documents, activate the termination fee payment, and Nico's broker provides the necessary documents to prove that the funds are from Barcelona. The club said the steps will not be completed within this week.
