Barcelona is ready to pay the buyout clause specified in the contract of forward Niko Williams, who plays for Athletic in Bilbao. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
The price to buy the player is 58 million euros. According to journalist Helena Kondis, the Catalan club plans to activate this clause within the week.
However, the process of officially registering the new player may be slightly delayed, as time is required for his registration. Although Niko Williams previously rejected a move to Catalonia in the summer, he has now agreed to join the Barcelona team. Barcelona became the champion in the last La Liga season, while Athletic finished the competition in fourth place.
This transfer is considered an important addition for the Catalans, as the team aims to strengthen its squad further. Such changes are common in the football world and hold significant importance for both clubs.
