The Daily Sports reported that Deco tends to sign Luis Dias for Barcelona, ​​while Laporta chose Nico Williams.

After Nico Williams took action and sent his agent Felix Teinta to meet with Barcelona sporting director Deco in Barcelona to confirm whether the club is still interested in it, Barcelona internal discussions started to decide whether to make the Athletic Bilbao player the top target for the left-wing position signing.

Participated in the discussion include Deco himself, coach Frick and chairman Laporta. The sports director remains committed to signing Louis Dias, the Colombian player is the Brazilian's first choice for the left-wing position in the past few months. Frick, who had been satisfied with Dias' signing, has now opened the door for Nico Williams, believing that the player's joining is very attractive due to his youthful traits, ability to break balance and room for improvement.

Chairman Laporta reconsidered after Nico Williams took the initiative to attack. As he mentioned in his previous interview, the closed door is now completely open and ordered the launch of a transfer feasibility study.

The focus of the controversy is whether to pay 60 million euros to terminate the contract for the 22-year-old star or pay a higher fee for the 28-year-old player. Barcelona is clear that it is difficult to pay Nico's termination fee, and Athletic Bilbao refuses to negotiate. Although the introduction of Dias may be slightly more expensive, the operation is more feasible. Liverpool may accept installments, which is in line with the practice of most transfer transactions.

Laporta is determined to advance the transfer assessment because he confirmed Nico's attitude change. He also asked for a guaranteed player last year, and did not mention any conditions this year and was extremely eager to join Barcelona. This situation has been confirmed by important players in the Barcelona locker room and has been directly conveyed to the chairman himself.

However, Barcelona hopes to avoid the matter from evolving into a lengthy soap opera again. Athletic Bilbao is currently taking a evasive attitude. Tainta denied meeting with Barcelona, ​​which is exactly the same as his handling of Nico's transfer rumors last year.

In fact, Teinta also denied contact with Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga club also expressed interest in Nico Williams, but has basically given up now because they know that if they leave Biba, Nico will only wear the Barcelona jersey.
