Deco Has Launched a High-Level Operation that could become one of the key moves of the summer.
The blaugrana sporting director works discreetly but with determination.
It involves Nico Williams's Arrival at FC Barcelona, accompanied by Raphinha's Departure and a positive balance of 30 million euros (€30 million) in the blaugrana coffers. A strategic signing that combines sporting necessity, economic criteria, and future vision.
Nico Is No Longer a Laporta Fancy, Flick Wants Him Too
Nico Williams Is, as of Today, the Number One on the priority list of the blaugrana club. The Athletic Club winger has been favored by Joan Laporta for some time. Now he also has the approval of Hansi Flick, who will manage Barça for the second consecutive year.
The German believes that his style fits perfectly into the system he is building at Camp Nou.
Nico's signing is directly related to a possible sale of Raphinha.
The Brazilian Has a Market in the Premier League. In Can Barça, a price has already been set: between 80 and 90 million euros (€80-90 million), according to 'Catalunya Ràdio'.
Although the player wants to stay, the club considers his departure if an irresistible offer arrives. With that income, Nico Williams's arrival would not only be funded, but it would also leave a clean 30 million euros (€30 million) that would ease the club's finances.
The Operation Would Leave 30 Million in the Coffers
Nico's Release Clause Is Just Over 62 Million Euros (€62 million). A figure manageable for a Barça that, despite its salary cap issues, has sufficient liquidity.
However, the club will need to continue adjusting its accounts to register him without any hitches.
The Operation Remains Delicate Due to the Great Season Raphinha Is Having at Barça. For fans, it would be difficult to accept his departure, but Nico Williams's arrival also generates excitement.
Raphinha has become one of the most beloved footballers among Barcelona fans, and his departure would be painful for many supporters.
