The Need for New Income
Joan Laporta is looking for financial resources that will allow him to make the necessary investments to strengthen the Barcelona Football Club squad. At this moment, the main reason why the arrival of Nico Williams has not been made official is very simple: the club still does not have the 58 million euros that his termination clause requires. Although the agreement with the player is practically sealed, there are some minor details to be resolved.
The Hope of an Announcement
However, once they obtain the required funds, the club will be able to officially announce the integration of the Athletic Club de Bilbao forward, who has become the absolute priority to shape the team’s attack. In addition, Dani Olmo’s situation is also under observation, since he constitutes another attractive option to strengthen Barça’s offensive front. The initial intention was to release players who do not play a significant role in coach Hans-Dieter Flick’s plans, aimed at obtaining the desired income.
Difficulties in selling players
However, at the Camp Nou stadium they are facing a series of setbacks that exceed forecasts in terms of the sale of footballers who have no future in the entity. So far, they have received no attractive offers for almost any player. Furthermore, some of the stars have rejected the idea of leaving the club, remaining firm in fulfilling their contracts. This situation has led the president to explore other financing alternatives.
New Financing Strategies
One of the latest ideas that Laporta is considering is to request an advance from Nike. He is currently in negotiations with the American multinational to secure his position as one of Barça’s main sponsors and the company responsible for designing the new shirts each season. The intention is to reach a multi-million euro and sustainable agreement, requesting a loyalty bonus of 100 million euros, which would be used to close the signing of Nico Williams Jr. and the RB Leipzig player.
Futures in the Barça Agenda
At the moment, the talks are progressing positively, and Laporta hopes to be able to resolve all issues before the end of July, since there is only one month left until the start of the new season, and no new agreements have yet been made. signings.
Focusing Attention on Nico and Dani
Nico Williams and Dani Olmo are currently the two great obsessions of FC Barcelona. However, the club is not losing sight of the search for a new midfielder, with names such as Mikel Merino and Joshua Kimmich in its plans, as well as the need to select a right-back. Both Deco and Laporta still have a long way to go to close all these open situations.
