The future of Nico Williams is increasingly in the market spotlight, though not for progress regarding his transfer. Quite the opposite. While the player has made it clear he wants to play for FC Barcelona, Athletic Club is not willing to facilitate his departure without a fight until the last minute.

The intention of the Basque club's leaders is clear: block or at least slow down as much as possible the transfer of the 22-year-old winger. This week, members of the red-and-white board traveled to Madrid not only for issues related to women's football but also to demand explanations about Barça's financial situation.

Based on recent statements by Javier Tebas, stating that Barça has not yet met the famous 1:1 financial requirement, Athletic aims to pressure LaLiga to closely monitor every move by the Catalan club. Athletic Club is ready for a direct confrontation if necessary.

Nico Williams has a release clause of 58 million.

Nico's release clause remains the most direct path to finalize the deal, but Athletic Club does not want everything to come down to that. They insist that the transaction must pass through LaLiga's financial assessment and comply with every point of the current regulations.

On the player's side, the decision has already been made. His agent, Félix Tainta, has informed the club that his desire is to join Barça this summer. The renewal offer from Athletic, however generous, did not change his stance.

Meanwhile, Barça has yet to make an official move. It is expected to trigger the release clause in the coming weeks, but tensions between the two clubs are rising. The saga is just beginning and promises to drag on, with Nico Williams dreaming of wearing the blaugrana colors... but still facing many obstacles ahead.
