Joan Laporta claimed that the Catalan side can sign the attacker.

The Catalan club president Joan Laporta has claimed the team have the finances to ink Spain and Athletic Club star Nico Williams, who has been 1 of the best players in the European championship in Germany.

Nico (21) inked a new contract at the end of the past year but his deal features a release clause worth around 63 million dollars.

Barcelona are in excess of their annual LaLiga spending limit and are unable to register new players, but the club’s president believes they will fix their finances soon and be able to sign footballers like the winger.

“Economically speaking, we could commit to the inking of Nico Williams,” the Barcelona president claimed today.

“Williams is a footballer I like — I like him a lot. We are working with a new manager, Hansi Flick, on the potential new players. Now we must give time to sporting director Deco to close the operations we are working on.”
