Unprecedented: Raphinha Advises Nico Williams Not to Transfer for Barça: I...

Raphinha surprises everyone with his statements and makes it clear to Nico Williams why he shouldn't transfer for Barça

The situation, in general terms, at Barcelona is simply precarious due to the large number of problems that have arisen within the club. This, through a considerable amount of poor decisions over the years, now has the institution in the spotlight. However, not even their own players have the audacity to defend the club's decisions.

In this case, one of the most important players of the Catalan team, Raphinha, has decided to turn his back on his team. It's once again statements that could even justify Nico Williams's decision not to join the club last summer. "What's happening with Dani Olmo and Pau Víctor affects; If I'm at another club and see the situation, I'd think twice about coming to Barcelona."

These words are simply a real dagger for many of the Meringue fans who would never have expected this from this player. Nonetheless, the sincerity is appreciated by all those who might have been considering the possibility of joining this club.

A hard blow from within

This player has become one of the main references in the attack of the Catalan team practically in the last 2 years. In the current season, he has a total of 2,064 minutes in 25 games with 17 goals. This makes these words a real headache for those who supported Joan Laporta's management.

The Athletic Club player halted the opportunity to join the Catalan institution this past summer, as was rumored in the media. However, in the end, he retracted this opportunity and ended up staying with his club to everyone's surprise.

Now, with the resolution of everything that happened with Dani Olmo, it seems to have been a premeditated decision by the Basque player. A decision that very few saw coming, but that now even the team's own players expose.

Could have consequences

Some of us already know how this club works perfectly, and for this very reason, these words could have consequences for the Brazilian player. Something that could definitely change his career completely if they decide to take action against him.
