Barcelona urgently needs to introduce a winger this summer. Previously, the first choice was Liverpool's Luis Dias, but the transfer negotiations were deadlocked. Liverpool asked Dias too much. Three weeks ago, Barcelona hoped that players and agents would put pressure on them to reduce transfer fees to 60 million euros, but received no positive response. Barcelona gradually lost patience and was eager to complete the transfer before the pre-season training camp on July 13.

At this time, Nico Williams became Barcelona's new goal and had obvious advantages. He has made a clear statement that if he leaves Athletic Bilbao, he is only willing to join Barcelona. Its contract has a 58 million euro termination fee clause (a total of 62 million euros for tax and other expenses), and Athletic Bilbao is unable to stop it.

Age, 22-year-old Nico Williams has an advantage over 28-year-old Dias, who can sign a six-year contract with Barcelona, ​​which is conducive to amortization of transfer fees and alleviates financial pressure. If sold in the future, Nico still has a broad market, and Diaz is over 30s and it is difficult to transfer the sale at a high price.

Nico is willing to reduce salary requirements for joining Barcelona, ​​which is in line with Barcelona's need to control the total salary. In addition, many Barcelona players and Nico are teammates in the Spanish national team, with a harmonious relationship and a tacit understanding, which will help him quickly integrate after joining. Based on multiple factors, Nico Williams has surpassed Luis Dias and has become the first choice for Barcelona wingers to sign up, and Barcelona's subsequent transfer actions are worth paying attention to.
