Real Madrid realized their long-standing dream and brought in Kylian Mbappe, and Endrick has also finally arrived. Town rival Atletico responded with Robin Le Normand and Alexander Sorloth, and a bomb in the form of Julián Alvarez from Manchester City is close to being dropped. Only Barcelona – stands still. Aiming at over-ambitious targets for which they don’t have the money or simply cannot reach. As, for example, is the case with Nico Williams, who appeared today at Athletic Bilbao training and committed to the Basques.“I’m back! I’m really looking forward to this season. Aupa (vamos/let’s go), Athletic!”, addressed one of the heroes of the Spanish European Championship winning campaign to the fans in Bilbao.🚨🔴⚪️ Nico Williams on Athletic Club channels: “I’m back!

And not only them. He could choose where to go this summer. In addition to Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain also wanted him, Bayern Munich were mentioned, before that Aston Villa…With the amount of compensation of a “modest” 58,000,000 euros for today’s conditions, many big clubs saw him as the first target of the summer transfer window. But he saw himself only on San Mames. His contract runs until 2027 and nobody is in a hurry.##NAJAVA_MECA_8257982##Barca were therefore left without one of the two main wishes of Hansi Flick. And today, they could lose their second pick, if they don’t realize that proven quality costs money. Because Dani Olmo wants to go to Camp Nou, but Leipzig want 60,000,000 euros straight away, not in installments. Blaugrana have so far offered 47,000,000 euros fixed, plus 3,000,000 depending on the number of games and another 10,000,000 if they win the title in La Liga or the Champions League.If they don’t catch up with Real and Atlético soon, transfers-wise – it is questionable whether they will be able to.Nico Williams pasando las pruebas médicas con el Barcelona.JAJAJAJAJAJA 😂😂😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/VtvEVZw1EI— REAL MADRID FANS 🤍 (@AdriRM33) August 6, 2024
