Jota Jordi, exposed by Nico Williams's signing and Barça: 'The day...'

The saga over the possible signing of Nico Williams by FC Barcelona continues

Everything seems to indicate that Nico Williams's signing by Barça was far from certain. According to the latest reports, the player wouldn't be entirely convinced that Barça can complete his registration. In fact, his agents have reportedly requested that the contract include a clause allowing him to leave in case he's not registered in LaLiga.

Meanwhile, the condition, recently raised by the footballer's entourage, has caused discomfort among the blaugrana leadership. They consider it a threat and believe there shouldn't be any doubts about the footballer's registration in LaLiga. However, what happened with Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor last season leaves many doubts for the younger Williams.

Barça seems to be backing out of the signing

The option in question is considered "reckless" by the board, which isn't willing to compromise either its assets or the club's balance. Interest in Nico Williams isn't new, but last season they couldn't finalize his signing either due to the well-known "fair play" regulations.

This summer, the situation seemed less restrictive and everything pointed to Nico Williams becoming a culé, but everything has changed recently. Additionally, according to reports from the Catalan capital, the player has set June 5 as the deadline. The winger's goal is not to start preseason with Athletic Club, which will begin on June 9.

Nico Williams and Barça expose Jota Jordi

Meanwhile, Jota Jordi, who keeps reporting in every possible way about Nico Williams's signing, has been completely exposed. The culé panelist claimed that the club would pay the full amount of the clause on June 1 to Athletic Club. As expected, this hasn't happened.

"On the first. The 58 million will be paid on the 1st or, at the very, very, very latest, on the 2nd, but everything's planned to pay it on the 1st", explained Jota Jordi.

This way, Jota Jordi's calculations and information regarding Barça's signings are once again proven wrong.
