Athletic Bilbao Casts Doubt on Barcelona’s Pursuit of Williams: What’s Really Holding Up the Deal?
“The meeting in Madrid was held in response to a request made by Athletic concerning compliance with financial fair play rules.
“Among the issues discussed was Barcelona’s ability to sign players. Athletic have a legitimate interest in accessing relevant information about this, given that Barcelona’s director of football, Deco, publicly acknowledged that they will try to sign a player from our first team, a player who is under contract until June 30, 2027.
“Deco’s comments follow public statements made by Barcelona president [Joan] Laporta, who admitted that his club ‘is working to comply with the rules’ and that, as a result, it does not currently meet the requirements of those rules for player registration.”
