Barcelona defeated liquidated damages and forced to sign Nico Williams. What do you think about the La Liga president?

Sports Weekly All Media Report

According to multiple Spanish media reports, Barcelona will pay Nico Williams about 64 million euros in termination fee (including value-added tax) next week. The player himself asked Barcelona to finalize his signing matters before July 9, which is the date when Athletic Bilbao resumes pre-season training.

Nico Williams was Barcelona's main target of signing in the summer, but he finally won Olmo because of financial issues, and it turned out that even if he signed Olmochi, the registration process was full of twists and turns. In view of this, Bilbao, who did not want to let Nico, sued Barcelona for La Liga, questioning its financial compliance. In this regard, La Liga President Tevas emphasized in an interview that La Liga will definitely handle Barcelona's financial issues impartially.

Tevas said: "Barcelona does not meet the 1:1 rule at present, and I hope they can meet this condition as soon as possible. They know what they need to do, and Athletic Bilbao is also very clear about what operations must be completed to meet the 1:1 rule. Athletic Bilbao does not need to make any statement, and it is our responsibility to clarify the doubts about financial fair play. We are very transparent. Although the club's most detailed financial data will not be released, everyone knows that the committee held a meeting in February to explain the reasons for setting the salary cap and also explain the situation of Barcelona, ​​because we have the case of Olmo.

" Athletic Bilbao complained to Barcelona because (Barcelona director) Deco publicly expressed his desire to sign the player. According to FIFA regulations, Nico is currently in a ‘protected period’ and Barcelona has no authority to interfere. If Barcelona wants to register any player, whether it is Nico Williams, Haaland or Messi...everyone is the same and must abide by the regulations. ”

Barcelona President Laporta responded to the related topic after playing golf with Koeman, "Financial Audit? We have nothing to hide, so they can check it out. We have no problem with this. "In response to Athletic Bilbao's complaint, Laporta said: "Each party does what it sees as appropriate. We do what we have to do, seize market opportunities, and follow the advice of the athletic director and coach. I have nothing to add. ”

Regarding Barcelona's termination fee to sign Nico Williams, "Nico Williams? I won't talk about specific players. I only talk about opportunities in the market, there are many opportunities. Pay Nico's termination fee? If there is an opportunity in the market that the termination fee must be paid, Barcelona will make the necessary preparations. "According to the Marca newspaper, Barcelona has recently completed a bond issuance worth 424 million euros and will refinance 40% of the debt of the "Barcelona Space" project. This is said to bring the club closer to complying with the 1:1 rule.
