Cover of FC BARCELONA NEWS on Saturday, July 5, 2025: The signing of Nico Williams by Fútbol Club Barcelona has fallen through after an attempt to pressure from the azulgrana club. The Barça board gave the player a 48-hour ultimatum to accept the conditions of his incorporation, with the aim of not repeating situations like last summer, when negotiations were prolonged without success.

However, the strategy did not work and ended up accelerating the decision of the Athletic Club winger, who chose to renew with the Basque team. On the other hand, the azulgrana club has managed to accelerate the outcome of these negotiations just 5 days before the start of the transfer market, which allows them to have enough time to resume other operations to cover the position of a left winger.
