Nico Williams ready to join Barcelona with salary reduction condition

Nico Williams — Athletic Bilbao’s winger — has reached a personal agreement to join Barcelona next summer.

The Spanish international has accepted Barcelona’s offer — including a lower salary adjustment compared to his previous contract.

Barcelona now faces a new challenge — negotiations with Athletic Bilbao regarding the player’s release clause valued at over 58 million euros.

Barcelona’s coach, Hansi Flick, is expected to maintain either a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation to accommodate Williams’s arrival to the team.
