According to the World Sports News and other Spanish media, Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams has surpassed Liverpool's Luis Dias and has become Barcelona's first choice for strengthening the forward line this summer. This change stems from the comprehensive consideration of players' attitudes, economic costs and competitive value, and the transfer process may be accelerated.

1. Players' willingness to dominate the transfer direction

Non-Barcelona: Nico has repeatedly made it clear to his agent that "if he leaves the team, he will only consider Barcelona", and even reject other giants' offers, showing a strong willingness to join. In contrast, although Diaz was chased by Barcelona, ​​he did not cooperate with the pressure of Liverpool to reduce prices, resulting in the stagnation of negotiations.

Active salary cuts facilitate transactions: In order to reduce Barcelona's salary pressure, Nico agreed to lower the original salary requirement, and this concession is crucial to Barcelona, ​​which is trapped in the "salary cap".

2. Significant economic and age advantages

Termination fee clauses are cost-effective: the 58 million euro termination fee (including taxes of about 62 million yuan) in Nico's contract is much lower than the market valuation of Dias's 85 million euros, and Athletic Bilbao cannot prevent the activation of the clause.

Long-term amortization reduces costs: 22-year-old Nico can sign a contract for 6 years, with an average annual amortization of only 9.67 million euros; while 28-year-old Dias will sign a contract for 4 years, with an average annual cost of more than 20 million euros. Nico has higher potential for resale in the future, and Dias, who is over 30, may face depreciation.

3. The integration of competitive adaptability and locker room

The national team has tacitly supported: Nico and Barcelona core Yamal have excellent partnering with the Spanish national team. Yamal openly calls on the club to sign this "half-brother". Coach Flick recognized his modern winger traits - he made 27 goals (8 goals and 19 assists) in 37 games last season, and was good at high pressure breakthroughs and rapid conversions.

Plug and Play attributes: No need to adapt to the rhythm of La Liga, its left-hand blasting point ability can release Yamal's creativity on the right, forming a "two wings flying together" system.

4. Barcelona's urgent action

clubs need to complete the signing before the pre-season training camp on July 13, so they will accelerate the Nico deal. Although Bilbao refuses to pay in installments, Barcelona is raising funds through selling players (such as Rafinia) and renewing contracts with Nike. Lewandowski's contract terms (if you play less than 55% of the season, you can terminate the contract next summer) may also make room for Nico's salary.

From "alternative" to "first choice", Nico's transfer has been upgraded from economic accounts to strategic chess - his age, cost and competitive value are exactly the triple answers that Barcelona urgently needs to rebuild. If it is completed, his "national team combination" with Yamal's "national team" may become a key puzzle against Real Madrid's new star group.
