Barcelona already has Rafinia, why do you still want to buy Nico?

According to well-known transfer reporter Romano, Nico Williams has stopped negotiations with other clubs. He is only joining Barcelona, ​​and the board of directors of the Red and Blues is also fully promoting the "Nico Plan".

Lewandowski is in his late years, and Barcelona has changed to the "no front-line formation"?

In the summer of 2024, Nico Williams performed well in the European Cup, and Barcelona tried to introduce the left winger at that time, but eventually gave up because of lack of financial resources (and player registration issues). In the 2024/25 season, just as Nico Williams continued to wait for Barcelona to summon, Rafinia completed an explosion under Frick and advanced to become a popular candidate for the Golden Globe Awards.

Rafinia can replace Lewandowski to play the role of "pseudo-nine", with Nico Williams as the left winger.

On the surface, Frick's team is only one step away from the goal of the Triple Champions League. The attack power of the frontcourt composed of Yamal, Rafinia and Lewandowski seems to be no problem. The main factor affecting the team's upper limit is defense. However, the knowledgeable Frick obviously saw the hidden danger - Lewandowski is old and Ferran Torres is unstable. Barcelona's forward still needs to be strengthened.

Enrique's move to transform Ottoman Dembele in Paris gave him inspiration, and Rafinia and Nico Williams could coexist at the top of the formation. Rafinia plays the sudden arrow, Nico Williams and Yamal echo left and right, and Barcelona can play a high-intensity compression counter-attack and dazzling round conversion positions to destroy the opponent with a highly technical "heavy metal flow".

Rafinia has the ability to serve as a sudden arrow.

Echoes around the corner, Nico reduced the burden on Yamal

in the last stage of last season, Barcelona continually confronted strong hostilities such as Dortmund, Inter Milan and Real Madrid in the multi-line battlefield, and almost all threatening attacks were initiated from Yamal's side. Although Yamal has the ability to stand on his own, it is very risky to maintain this "asymmetric offensive" model for a long time. Barcelona urgently needs to find a player who is also good at playing with the ball to share Yamal's pressure on the "weak side". His national teammate Nico Williams is obviously the right candidate.

When Nico Williams takes on a strong offensive mission, Yamal can play the role of the Terminator on the other side. In the past season, Yamal has been one of the players with the lowest shooting conversion rate in European football, which is an inevitable result of forced shots under heavy pressure. When Nico Williams attracts defense on the left, Yamal can gain more space on the right and in front of the goal, and achieve a significant improvement in scoring efficiency.
