FC Barcelona announces important deadline for the Nico Williams deal
According to recent reports, FC Barcelona has set August 24 as the deadline to know Nico Williams' answer, the day they face Athletic Club in La Liga. For now, Barça is calm about the Nico operation. Further, the reports indicate that the club will go for other options on the left wing if he doesn't answer by then.
Currently, Athletic Bilbao has a clear hold on the Spanish winger, and even though the club has left Nico out of their German tour, it has been done to give the player needed rest. On the other hand, even Barcelona admits it is difficult, but they aren't ruling out the signing of Nico Williams.
It is well known that a crucial factor that influenced Nico's decision to stay at Athletic was FC Barcelona being much away from the 1:1 rule. However, with the €40M Libero payment and the sale of Julian Araujo for €10M, the Blaugrana club has entered the 1:1 financial rule and finds itself in a much more comfortable position than before.
