Recently, the transfer market of FC Barcelona has once again become the focus of attention of fans and media. According to the well-known Spanish media Relevo, Barcelona has suffered a major setback in the introduction of Nico Williams transfer matters, the club is not optimistic about this, and will push forward with another important transfer - the joining of Olmo.
During pre-season training in Orlando, USA, Barcelona's squad building problems have been particularly prominent. The transfer of Nico Williams has been on President Laporta's mind for months, as he hopes to bring the young and talented player to the team. However, while there is still a glimmer of hope at Barcelona, the reality of the situation is not encouraging. In his first public statement, the new manager, Frick, made it clear that the team needs players who can immediately contribute to winning. Although Barcelona has the financial resources to sign Nico, they are currently unable to register the new player due to a series of complicated financial issues.
Facing this predicament, Barcelona's top management had to adjust their strategy and put their hopes on other targets. Olmo, as a midfielder with comprehensive skills and outstanding ability, has become Barcelona's new favorite. The club plans to press ahead with the transfer with a view to injecting new energy into the team before the start of the new season.
Meanwhile, Barcelona's financial problems remain severe. The club is actively looking for partners to fill the huge financial gap. According to insiders, Barcelona is optimistic about announcing some positive financial news before the end of the tour on August 6th. These announcements are expected to provide the necessary financial support for the team's transfer efforts.
However, Athletic Bilbao have been unusually adamant when it comes to the transfer of Nico. They have refused to let go of the player who is regarded as the core of the team's future, and plan to recall Nico for training on August 12 to prepare for the new season. Nico himself has yet to make a clear statement on his future, as he is enjoying a vacation with his friends in Marbella. Those close to him say that they have not received any new information about the transfer.
During Barcelona's tour of the United States, sporting director Deco chose to stay in Spain and continue to be busy building the squad for the new season. He is aware that the club needs to be cautious in every step of the transfer market to avoid getting into a more passive situation. With Nico's hopes of joining the club fading, Barcelona will focus more on the transfer of Olmo and try to bring a strong new player to the team before the start of the new season.
