Reporter: Barcelona plans to pay Nico s termination fee this Friday and refuses to include registration terms in the contract

According to reporter Anaïs Martí Herrero, Barcelona plans to pay Nico's liquidated damages this Friday, and the player registration issue has not been fully implemented.

The reporter wrote: "Barcelona's plan is to pay Nico Williams 62 million euros termination fee (58 million euros termination fee + 4 million euros inflation adjustment fee) this Friday. The Athletic Bilbao player is currently on vacation in Mauritius, and his shared aspiration with Barcelona is to avoid having him participate in the Athletic Bilbao preseason, whose preseason preparations will begin on Wednesday, July 9. Nico has a few extra days of rest, but no one wants to delay until the deadline.

"However, there is still a problem to be solved: the player registration issue. Barcelona needs to free up 50 million to 60 million euros in financial fair competition to complete the registration for him. The club has already made plans for players to leave the team, and also transferred 475 VIP seats at the new Spotify Camp Nou Stadium to New Era Visionary Group and Fort Advisors Limited for the next 30 years to generate €100 million in revenue through the deal. Even though the club is optimistic about this, everything takes time. They have the entire August period until the final audit is submitted. And the Athletic Bilbao player hopes to clarify his choices and guarantees now.

"So far, negotiations on Barcelona's signing of Nico have been very clear and smooth. The player himself took the first step and asked his agent to meet Deco to express his interest in joining Barcelona. The move was appreciated and affirmed. Currently, he has reached an agreement with Barcelona to wear the jersey of Barcelona in the next six seasons, with the contract conditions similar to what the club proposed last summer: a net salary of between 6 million and 7 million euros per season. At a meeting held in Ibiza, head coach Frick recognized this and discussed Nico's tactical adaptability in the team.

"The current focus of the negotiations between the player's agent and Deco is that if Barcelona fails to meet the requirements for player registration, the best solution should be developed. The player's agent requires a clause similar to Conde or Ormo, that is, if the club cannot register a player, the player can leave the team freely.

"However, Barcelona rejected this plan. The club made it clear that if players cannot be registered, they must be able to recover the investment. For Deco, the core basis of this agreement is the mutual trust between the two parties. He does not consider the possibility of being unable to register a player, so the guarantee will be provided in other ways."
