Everything has changed in FC Barcelona's planning in recent days. Following the famous meeting with Félix Tainta, Nico Williams has become a priority for this summer. The Navarrese footballer has made the gesture that was so demanded of him to rekindle the interest, and he has done it in a big way. Nico is only thinking about Barça, having put the offers from Bayern, Arsenal, Chelsea, and even Athletic Club on standby.
Barcelona had been very angry about his behavior last summer, but this gesture has changed everything. President Laporta, who was the main "opposition" to the signing, has already given in. The idea is to try to make this saga last as little as possible, to the point that his contract as a new culer is already agreed upon, only the signature is missing.
Nico Williams accepts: this will be his contract with Barça
All the information points in the same direction, confirming that Nico Williams will earn about €12 million gross per season. In other words, about €6 million net, placing him in the middle range of the wage bill. Not only that, but he would arrive at Camp Nou earning less than at San Mamés, and with much lower conditions than those he set for Bayern or Chelsea, among others.
Not only that, because Nico Williams has already approved the length of his contract with FC Barcelona: six seasons. This way, the 22-year-old Spanish international would be tied to Barça until he turns 28, in 2031.
The only condition Nico Williams has set is that the negotiations last as little as possible, avoiding a repeat of last summer's saga. That means Barça will have to pay his release clause to Athletic Club: €58 million plus CPI, reaching up to €62 million in a single payment.
Nico Williams already sees himself at Barça
At 22 years old, the Navarrese winger is very eager to wear FC Barcelona's jersey. This is a move he gives total priority to, already seeing himself running down Camp Nou wing alongside friends like Lamine Yamal or Balde.
Nico Williams's projection is very high, having recorded 11 goals and 7 assists this past season. Barça is clear that he is already a priority, ahead of other names like Luis Díaz or Rashford. A quick outcome is not expected, as the culer side is searching for liquidity to finance the payment of his release clause.
