A Spanish media report revealed today, Tuesday, that Joan Laporta, president of FC Barcelona, is experiencing anger towards Nico Williams, a player from Athletic Bilbao. Barcelona has been making strong efforts to secure Nico Williams' services to strengthen the team's attacking line during the current summer transfer window, by offering to pay his release clause of €58 million. However, the deal is facing significant complications due to the player's and his club's desire to remain.
According to the popular Spanish program "El Chiringuito," the president of Barcelona feels betrayed by Nico Williams. The report added, "Barcelona's management considers Nico Williams a loss if he does not join the team this summer." Nico has decided to change his jersey number with Bilbao for the new season from 11 to 10, which was previously worn by Iker Muniain, who left the club at the end of last season. The number 10 jersey holds a highly symbolic significance in the world of football, as it is often associated with the best players across different teams worldwide.
