World Sports: Barcelona is close to signing Nico, but Fati, Ter Stegen and others need to leave the team to make room

June 19, World Sports reported that Barcelona is close to signing Nico Williams, with a transfer fee of 58 million euros. The two parties have reached an agreement on personal terms, with the contract term of six years until 2031. In order to comply with financial fair policies, the club needs to reduce the salary burden by selling some players.

Barcelona believes there is no need to make large-scale player sales. The club said Nico and Garcia's registration issues can be solved through the departures of Fati, Victor, Torre, Penia, Christensen, Romeu and Ter Stegen. Although there is still much work to be done, the club is optimistic about it.

The most difficult situation is German goalkeeper Ter Stegen, who insists on fulfilling the contract until 2028. Fati is re-engagement with Monaco, but no agreement has been reached yet and wage negotiations are progressing slowly. Other players are also looking for new places to go, but there is no substantial progress. Although there is no official offer, there is an intention.

Although large-scale sales of players are not considered, Araujo's situation may also help. On July 1, his termination fee will be reduced to 60 million euros for 15 days. However, this option will not be enabled if the player is unwilling to leave. In the past, many clubs, including Bayern Munich, have expressed interest in him. Arauho himself tends to stay in the team. Frick rejected Juventus' offer to him last winter. The club eventually renewed his contract until 2029 and set the terms of the termination. Since he is not the absolute main player, the coach's view of his role in next season will be very important.
