Barcelona president Joan Laporta has reacted to speculation that Athletic Club will try to block Nico Williams’ potential move to Camp Nou this summer.
The Catalans are said to be ready to activate his release clause, but the Basques aren’t happy because they don’t think Barca are operating within the 1:1 rule.
Laporta has been asked about the situation and had a pretty defiant response, saying he didn’t understand their stance.
“We don’t have bad relations with Athletic , yes there have been a series of misunderstandings and incidents in recent years, but you can’t say we have bad relations, we are two clubs with a very long history and with relationships that go back a long time,” he said, via Mundo Deportivo.
