La Liga president Javier Tebas commented on the appeal of the "Athletic" team. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
After the Barselona management made a statement expressing interest in Nico Williams, the Bilbao team appealed to La Liga for information regarding the financial situation of the Catalan club. "Athletic" complained because "Barselona" openly announced their intention to buy the player. There is a protected period in FIFA regulations, and we do not have the authority to intervene in this matter.
As always, we will monitor that "Barselona" complies with the rules for officially signing players. This applies whether it is Nico Williams, Erling Haaland, Lionel Messi, or anyone else.
We will not make any changes to the rules. I hope that "Barselona" fully complies with the 1:1 rules. I wish this to all clubs.
The rules are well known, Tebas said in an interview with the EFE agency.
