Joan Laporta, the president of FC Barcelona, revealed why the transfer of Nico Williams from Athletic Club did not take place. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He emphasized that Williams' agent offered the player's services to the Catalan club. Although the initial negotiations went well, during the contract signing phase, Athletic and the player changed the initial terms.
De Koenig's team demanded a final decision within 48 hours. If they did not accept the terms, it was clear that the deal would not go through.
As a result, the player extended his contract with his current club for another ten years. Currently, the 23-year-old player's market value is 70 million euros.
This situation was reported by the publication "Mundo Deportivo." Thus, the transfer ended unsuccessfully, and the player will continue his career with Athletic.
