Several stars in Barcelona s locker room openly forced their palace and demanded signing Nico Williams

According to the Daily Sports newspaper, the incident surrounding Nico Williams' transfer to Barcelona is rapidly fermenting. In fact, several key players in the team's locker room have put pressure on the club's management to sign the Spanish international this summer.

This is already Nico Williams' second straight summer in Barcelona's transfer negotiations. Things entered the acceleration phase after a key talks between club sports director Deco and player agent Felix Tainta.

Interestingly, several players in the Barcelona locker room have close ties with Nico Williams, especially Yamal and Valde. The two have publicly forced the palace to demand that the club sign the Basque star.

At the same time, Nico also received information from Kubasi, Fermin and Ormo, hoping to cooperate with him next season.

However, despite support from the locker room and interest from head coach Frick and club president Laporta, the biggest obstacle at present is that Barcelona has no money.

Nico scored 11 goals and sent 7 assists last season. His contract with Athletic Bilbao includes a 60 million euro termination clause. Barcelona plans to activate the clause directly, but the question is how to pay.

Bilbao requires a full payment in one lump sum, but Barcelona hopes to set it up as installment payment in order to cope with strict fiscal fair competition rules and limited flexibility.

Of course, if Barcelona can solve financial problems once and for all, it means that the transfer is likely to be completed immediately.
