Barcelona is already tired of Nico s "soap opera" and issued an ultimatum to players a week before renewing their contract

According to World Sports, Barcelona is already tired of Nico Williams' "soap opera", and the player received the last 48-hour ultimatum from Barcelona a week before renewing his contract with Bilbao.

It all started on June 13, when Nico's agent Félix Tainta met with Barcelona director Deco in Barcelona and told his players that he wanted to join. The proposal surprised Barcelona because Laporta was unhappy with Nico's refusal last summer and had no plans to restart the transfer this summer.

But after this meeting, Nico's proposal was welcomed because he was 6 years younger than another signing candidate, Louis Dias. He only had to pay a penalty for clearance without negotiating with the club, and the two sides had agreed on the contract years and salary last year. But when the trump card agreement turned to written, the problem arose. Barcelona sources said Nico's agents requested that the terms of free termination of the contract be added to the contract without registration, which was never mentioned in previous discussions.

Barcelona rejected the proposal and the transfer negotiations were deadlocked. In fact, on St. John's Day (June 24), Barcelona issued an ultimatum to Nico's agents because of no progress in negotiations: their conditions must be accepted by June 28, otherwise the negotiations will be terminated. Nico insisted on paying a termination fee, citing ensuring players can continue working without registering.

After the deadline set by Barcelona, ​​they chose to turn their attention to Luis Dias. Dias's agent has already contacted Barcelona and said that the players are still interested in joining and are willing to promote the transfer. Because later Barcelona discovered that the actions taken by Bilbao had an impact on Nico and began to doubt his agent and brother Inaghi.

Although he said he would no longer consider Nico's affairs after June 28, the players still said that he still wanted to join Barcelona and hoped to complete the transfer as soon as possible, preferably before July 6. However, Nico also emphasized that it is necessary to ensure that he will not be idle because of the lack of playing opportunities, so he requested to join the termination clause.

Barcelona was tired of such a negotiation deadlock and told Nico's agent directly: either accept their terms or refuse. Neither side was willing to compromise, and Nico was anxious. Barcelona requires the agent to complete communication with the players as soon as possible and stop delaying time. In the end, Nico decided to reject Barcelona after discussing with his family and agent in Bilbao. The next day, Bilbao officially announced that it would renew his contract with Nico until 2035.

Barcelona had been full of expectations for Nico, and they always believed that the player's dream was not to wear a Barcelona jersey. In fact, there was a video circulating inside the club that showed Nico said he was eager to fight alongside Mbappe one day. In addition, Barcelona also suspects that Nico's agent does not want players to join Barcelona. Barcelona also knows that in the final stage of this transfer drama, Nico is already discussing a contract renewal with Bilbao in private, because it is impossible to negotiate a 10-year long contract at once.
