Barcelona winger target ready to accept €12 million gross annual salary – report | OneFootball

Following the meeting between FC Barcelona sporting director Deco and Nico Williams’ agent, Felix Tainta, there is renewed hope that the Spaniard might end up joining the Catalans.

Nico had been Barcelona’s priority target last summer and everything appeared to be on track for the transfer to go through. However, the youngster’s concern about his registration, owing to the Blaugrana’s FFP issues, meant that the deal fell through.

However, Nico still harbours hopes of playing for Barça and is believed to have requested the meeting that took place today.

Furthermore, a new update from journalist Santi Aouna now reports that Nico is willing to accept the salary terms that Barcelona offered him last year.

The Blaugrana had put forth a wage packet worth €12 million gross per season (~€6.3 million net) to the 22-year-old Spanish international in 2024.

It must be noted that Nico is also attracting strong interest from Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.

And journalist Florian Plettenberg in Germany had claimed that the winger was seeking a salary of around €20 million gross per season.

But, it appears that Nico would be willing to accept a lower offer of €12 million gross annual salary from Barcelona – the same amount that they had proposed in 2024.

If true, this shows that the Athletic Club winger is very much intent on playing for the La Liga champions and is prepared to do everything in his power to make it happen.

Nico has a release clause worth €62 million which Barcelona will have to trigger as Athletic Club will not negotiate on the transfer fee.
