At the weekend it was already leaked that Nico Williams should have decided to switch to FC Barcelona and against a transfer to Bayern. Max Eberl denied the impending slump after the 10-0 winning victory at the club World Cup on Sunday, but now the Munich team should be informed about the attacker’s decision.
“I don’t know anything about it,” said FC Bayern’s sports director on Sunday evening about the youngest rumors about Nico Williams. The Spanish “sport” had previously reported that it was moving to Barca. The portal “Fichajes.net” even wrote that Williams was “only a step away from becoming a new FC Barcelona player”.
According to “Sky” transfer journalist Florian Plettenberg, “important negotiations” between the Spanish champion and the European champion took place at the weekend. These are said to have led to the fact that the Catalans now have “the best chances” in front of Munich and Arsenal FC to secure the services of Williams.
Nico Williams: FC Bayern still has a little hope
However, the financial situation could still stand in the way of a change, Plettenberg continued. Barca President Joan Laporta is currently checking whether a commitment to the left wing of Athletic Bilbao can be realized. If the green light comes from Barcelona, the Williams deal will “probably take place”.
FC Bayern is now also informed about the Spaniard’s decision. According to Plettenberg, the hope of the dribble artist has not yet been completely abandoned. Accordingly, on Säbener Straße, they initially want to wait and see whether Barca can actually realize the transfer.
At Athletic Bilbao, the national player is still equipped with a working paper by 2027. According to reports, Williams can change prematurely due to an exit clause. Finally, a transfer fee between 60 and 65 million euros was rumored. According to “fichajes.net”, around 58 million euros could be due.
