6-year contract annual salary of 12 million euros! Barcelona signs Nicoda s personal agreement, Bayern is still waiting to find a hole

On June 17, Foot Mercato chief reporter Santi Aouna wrote an article to update the transfer situation of Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao forward Nico Williams. According to him, Barcelona has agreed with Nico Williams on personal terms. The latter will receive a six-year contract with an annual salary of €12 million. Next, Barcelona's task is how to activate the 58 million euro penalty in Nico's contract.

This is undoubtedly very good news for Barcelona. In fact, as early as last summer, Barcelona planned to activate Nico Williams' liquidated damages clause and take him to the Camp Nou Stadium. However, Barcelona faced the problem of difficulty in registering players due to salary cap restrictions, and Nicho Williams also had concerns about this, which led to the end of the transaction.

Last season, Barcelona won three championships in La Liga, Spanish Super League and Spanish Copa del Rey, and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, which is a brilliant record. This not only greatly alleviated their financial situation, but also made Nicho Williams once again ignite hope of joining Barcelona. Of course, Barcelona has not many signing targets at the left winger position, and Nicho Williams has also been worried about the latter because he rejected Barcelona last summer.

However, Liverpool, where Barcelona's top target Louis Dias is located, had no intention of letting go and offered at least 80 million euros transfer fee, which made Barcelona a little difficult to accept. In this case, Nico Williams became the most suitable target for signing. He is only 22 years old and is an active Spanish international. He has a good relationship with Barcelona's main players such as Yamal, Olmo, and Pedri. There are no problems with cooperation, and his personal abilities are perfectly in line with Barcelona's needs. More importantly, Nicho Williams now loves Barcelona from the bottom of his heart. In order to join as he wishes, he is willing to accept an annual salary of 12 million euros. You know, when Nico Williams faced Bayern's invitation, the Lions asked for an annual salary of 20 million euros.

However, even though Nico Williams is infinitely close to joining Barcelona, ​​Bayern, who has a special liking for him, still has not given up. Because in their opinion, Barcelona, ​​which has paid 25 million euros of liquidated damages for Joan Garcia, may not be able to activate Nico Williams' 58 million euros liquidated damages clause. In addition, Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao have a poor relationship, and the latter will most likely ask them to pay the huge transfer fee in one lump sum. Once Barcelona can’t afford it, Bayern’s chance comes.
