Barcelona started serious steps towards strengthening its offensive ranks in preparation for the next season, after it ended a deal that included young defender Juan Garcia to pay the penalty clause, so that the concentration of sports management turned into the left wing center, where the name Niko Williams has returned strongly to the front of the scene inside the corridors of the Catalan club.
Niko Williams returns to the interface
According to Spanish journalist Carlos Montphurt, through the newspaper “Sport”, Barcelona officials held an unannounced meeting in a city hotel with Felix Tanta, agent of Niko Williams, Athletic Bilbao, to reactivate negotiations to include the player during the current summer transfer market.
This move is a new attempt to revive a deal that stumbled last summer, due to financial problems that prevented the player from registering the team’s list, despite reaching an initial agreement at the time. Despite the calm period that followed the deal, the communication between the club and the player was not interrupted.
The desire of the player stimulates Barcelona
The report confirmed that Williams, the 22 -year -old, informed his agent of his explicit desire to move to Barcelona, despite the lack of official guarantees until now. The move comes at a time when the Athletic Bilbao administration is seeking to renew the player’s contract, which ends soon, amid increasing pressure from major clubs in Europe led by Arsenal and Bayern Munich.
Niko has a criminal condition of 62 million euros, and Bayern and Bayern expressed their willingness to activate him, but the Spanish player still prefers to have a new experience inside the Liga, putting Barcelona at the top of his potential options, provided that the club is financially and athlete to annex it.
Conclusion between Niko friendly
The move towards Niko comes in light of Barcelona’s endeavor to strengthen the center of the left wing, as the list of nominations also tops prominent names, most notably the Colombian star Louis Diaz, the Liverpool suite, whose market value is estimated at a high number that may be difficult to reach an agreement.
The administration is considering a third option represented in the borrowing of Marcus Rashford from Manchester United, in the event of negotiations with Williams Diaz, but Niko remains the closest technician and financial option in view of his tactical flexibility and young age.
A clear technical vision
Barcelona officials believe that Niko Williams was able to make the difference if the deal took place last summer, and the player has characteristics suitable for the team’s play, thanks to his speed and ability to create opportunities from the parties, making it an ideal choice for coach Hans Felk in his upcoming project.
