Barcelona are making plans to sign Nico Williams from Athletic Club but won’t pay his release clause for a little while yet.
The Catalans have already agreed personal terms with the Spain star on a contract that runs until 2031.
According to La Vanguardia, Barcelona will not pay his release clause until they have assurances from La Liga that they can register him and Dani Olmo.
The report states “payment will not be made before July 1, when the transfer window opens.”
Both club and player will then be hoping things can move quickly.
