Nico Williams: Barça or Real? The transfer saga is taking a dramatic turn. While everything seemed set for a move to FC Barcelona, multiple sources — including COPE — report that the player has told his Spain teammates that if the deal with Barça falls through… he would sign with Real Madrid instead!
According to El Chiringuito, though, the situation may soon be resolved: Barcelona is expected to trigger the €58M release clause this week, and Nico has reportedly made a “final and irreversible” decision to join Barça next season.
Real Madrid: a backup plan or a pressure move?
But it’s far from done. As reported by Mundo Deportivo, the deal is at risk due to last-minute demands from Nico’s agent. He’s seeking written guarantees regarding the player’s registration with La Liga, amid Barcelona’s ongoing salary cap issues — a sticking point that’s frustrating the club’s board.
Two scenarios are now on the table: Barça agrees to the agent’s conditions and closes the deal. If talks collapse, Real Madrid could step in, a possibility Nico himself is said to have acknowledged.
The deal is still on, but the tension is real — and the outcome remains uncertain.
