Each system: Barcelona hopes to pay Nico Williams 62 million euros termination fee in installments

According to the Spanish media Daily Sports, Bilbao has begun to accept the fact that they will lose Nico Williams next season. Unlike last summer, the player's stance has changed and decided to accept the offer from Barcelona to play for Barcelona in the next six seasons.

Last year, Nico Williams had hesitation, but was eventually convinced to extend the contract for one year and renew it until 2027. However, Nico Williams retained a 58 million termination clause, which has risen to 62 million owing to the rise in the Consumer Price Index (IPC).

Nico Williams wanted to enjoy another year of time playing side by side with his brother Iniaki; he was eager to compete for the UEFA Cup final. The attraction of these two competitive levels retained him. In addition, with Olmo's signing, Barcelona's interest has also weakened, as Barcelona may not have enough economic strength to undertake the two deals at the same time.

The situation is different now. Nico Williams is eager to win all the championships, which is difficult within Bilbao. It is certainly attractive to represent Bilbao in the Champions League, but in Barcelona, ​​the goal is not only to participate in the competition, but also to try to raise the "Big Ear Cup".

With DeMarcos' retirement, his brother Iniaki will become the captain of Bilbao, which is not enough to be a reason for Nico Williams to refuse to transfer to Barcelona.

Nico Williams expressed his willingness to join Barcelona. Faced with this change, Bilbao must evaluate how to respond.

First, the already damaged relationship between Barcelona and Bilbao is difficult to repair. Despite this, Barcelona will take the initiative again and try to negotiate with Bilbao, but the difference this time is that the players themselves will also participate. Nico Williams will convey his desire to play for Barcelona in the hope that Bilbao can give the green light to his departure.

Barcelona is clear that Bilbao will not accept the requirement to reduce the termination fee of 62 million euros, but they will try to make installments.

However, Bilbao is extremely dissatisfied with Barcelona. Although the player himself hopes to leave the team with a friendly attitude, all signs indicate that Bilbao will insist on paying the termination fee in full through La Liga. That is, adopt the same approach as Joan Garcia's transfer.

Barcelona is aware of this situation and is evaluating a plan to raise 62 million euros to sign Nico Williams.
