Barcelona explores bank loan option to secure Nico Williams

Barcelona is reportedly considering seeking assistance from banking institutions to facilitate the signing of Spanish-born Ghanaian winger Nico Williams from Athletic Club.

The winger has emerged as a top target for Barcelona, with President Joan Laporta expressing confidence in the club's ability to secure his services.

The primary obstacle in this pursuit is the €58 million release clause in Williams' contract. While Laporta has publicly stated that Barcelona is "in a position to sign him," the exact strategy to meet this financial demand has been a subject of speculation.

Recent proposals have ranged from fan-funded initiatives to more conventional methods. According to 'El Larguero' program on La Cadena Ser, the latest strategy under consideration involves approaching banking entities for a loan specifically intended for Williams' signing.

This move would align with the valuation of the forward, enabling a swift agreement between the clubs and circumventing the need to wait for player departures to free up funds. As Barcelona anticipates revenue from Barça Vision, this potential loan could provide the necessary financial leverage to secure Williams' signing in a timely manner.
