ESPN needs to worry about their own finances when it comes to providing their employees a working microphone that doesnt sound like my xbox 360 controller mic in 2007

Nico signing is exciting and exactly what Barca needs he is electrifying

[arianh]

As a Juve fan, Barcelona need to get Williams. The chemistry Yamal and Williams have is outstanding and they'd make Barca a real force going forward. I don't care how they do it, Barca needs to get this done.

ESPN seem to know more about Barca’s finances than the club President. Truly amazing😱😳

[mukiibigriphinemicheal]

Nico would be a big plus to barcelona!-

[Model_Roe]

I love Nico!!!! I am a Madirista but I would love to see hi at Barca it would help revive the whole Real Madrid vs Barcelona rivalry again

Nico Williams isn't just linked to Barça. He's our top priority..He wants Barça and he's agreed to a 5 year deal..All that's left for Barça to do is to close in on the 1:1 rule with the new Nike Deal, Barça studio and Barça vision
Mikel Merino is also another linked player, then Olmo adds up too

For ESPN Barcelona could do nothing right, no good games, no winning, no signings, nothing what a bunch of clowns, if they were true journalists, they would've known that Barcelona was on Nico since last year, and for the finances, they barely spent anything last year and are in a great postion this year, add to that the fact that in their worst years Barcelona still is easily top 1/2 best shirts solds, attendance, revenues in general and also I didn't see ESPN talking about the fact the Neigera case was horshit and were cleared of those ridiculous charges and is a closed case now, it's really puzzling why they hate Barça so much .

i think the misconception everyone has with barca's finances is that barca doesn't have the money to sign anyone. they do. the biggest problem with barca is la liga's ffp, and barca is not the only club struggling with it, although they are the most extreme case. out of the 20 la liga teams, 19 teams are forced to sell or limit their squad with real Madrid being the only club allowed to essentially freely sign and register their players. of course there is no direct favoritism towards real Madrid from la liga but the truth of the matter is that the new regulated imposed on la liga clubs heavily restricted every club that wasn't real madrid.

regarding barca though, barca's income drastically declined during covid and they had it the worst compared to any other club in la liga. as a result of covid and barca's sudden drop in revenue, la liga decided to impose sanctions and limitations towards their clubs to prevent a meltdown like barca from happening again, while every other league in Europe actually loosened ffp as a way of understanding the heavy impact covid had on every club. so not only was barca now in turmoil due to covid, they also had the league multiplying that effect even further. everyone knows about the levers barca pulled to sign players a few years ago. those levers weren't actually mainly used to sign players. they were used to register players for la liga. the main impact those levers had was to artificially increase barca's income for ffp (think city, Chelsea, newcastle, etc but nowhere near as bad because they're using their own assets) so that barca's wage cap can return to a more normal figure.

Nico Williams x Lamine Yamal = Double Trouble. Perfect wingers combination

[phillipharriott]

Hopefully these signings go through! La Liga will be worth watching for the up coming season as a neutral.

[javiazar]

Barcelona needs this... with Williams, Yamal, Pedri and Gavi... should be a winning combo

[charlesapana]

Yeah those duo will boost Barcelona team seriously

[swarnadipghosh]

Joan Laporta said "we can afford Nico Williams' signing"
"It hasn't gone too well in some parts" -
What ESPN actually wants to say "We do not like it! We don't want Barcelona to sign players"

[UnrulyRebel-hdpl]

They always hate to see barca get or go after players 😂 you let it had been Madrid they would've be dancing lifting their skirts singing and praising 😂

[Toulouztall]

It will be very good if Barcelona could signed Dani olmo and nico and sell some players

[yo_seb]

Olmo has been so injury prone throughout his career, last season he missed 29 games. We don’t need more players who will constantly be injured. On top of that, he’s not a starter here at Barca. Pedri, Gundo and Fermin would all play over him. Why waste around 60mil on a player that had the same amount of goals as Ferran in a worse league 🤦‍♂️

[Kannadiga-rn]

Go to nico Williams and defender, olmo next season

[nelsonturcios]

The great person and talented Dani Olmo would be a fabulous addition to Barcelona!

[MaureenVambe]

We can't wait to see them both play together at Barcelona, it will be incredible
