superpg1688 Athletic Bilbao have told La Liga and the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) to conduct a thorough investigation into Barcelona’s finances after the Basque side were convinced the Blaugrana do not meet Financial Fair Play’s 1:1 rule in a bid to block star winger Nico Williams from leaving the club.
Previously, several reliable media sources, such as Fabrizo Romano or the Catalan media Sport, reported that Barcelona are close to closing the deal for Nico Williams by paying a €58 million release clause and signing a contract until 2031. superpg1688
However, Spanish radio stations Radio Bilbao and Cadena Ser have revealed that Athletic Bilbao president Jon Uriete, along with club director Jon Barazategui, have travelled to Madrid to ask La Liga and the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) to conduct a thorough investigation into Barcelona’s finances, as they are convinced that the reigning La Liga champions are not yet subject to the Financial Fair Play (FFP) rule, which states that clubs can only spend what they earn (unless the club has debts or a deficit).
The concerns of the San Mames team are in line with what La Liga president Javier Tebas said after Barcelona officially announced the signing of new goalkeeper Joan Garcia, that Barcelona are not yet in line with the 1:1 financial rules, stating: “Signing a contract is different from registering a player. Barcelona still has a lot of work to do (to enter normal financial rules).”
In addition, both Radio Bilbao and Cadena Ser have also revealed that Athletic Bilbao are very unhappy that in the last 3 days, ‘Deco’, as the club’s director at Camp Nou, has openly revealed that Nico Williams wants to move to Barca and will do his utmost to keep the 22-year-old winger with the team.
After this news was released, the reporter asked Joan Laporta, the president of Barcelona, who replied: “We are working to enter the 1:1 rule. At the moment, I think we can sign normally. Of course, there are still some details left, but we are working on them. After that, we will sign the players we want.”
“I don’t understand Athletic Bilbao’s reaction to this, but with all due respect, each team should only care about itself,” the 62-year-old president concluded. ( superpg1688 )
