Nico’s message to his agent amid worries over Barcelona registration – “I want to finalise it”

After a tug of war that lasted weeks, Barcelona finally appear to be on the right track, in their bid to sign top target Nico Williams.

The forward is ready to join the Catalans and has reportedly returned from vacation to give Barça the power of attorney to act on his behalf.

A key focal point of the deal saw Nico’s agent raising concerns around Barcelona’s ability to register the player.

However, to clear any doubts in Nico’s agent’s mind, Barcelona had shown him 30 different documents showing that the club are on the right track.

This is according to El Chiringuito’s Jose Alvarez, who suggests Barcelona have done everything they can to convince Nico’s agent that the club will be able to register the youngster.

Barcelona’s efforts paid off at the moment, as Nico himself managed to convince his agent that Barça will be in a position to register him eventually.

“These are the guarantees, come on, I want to finalise it,” Nico had reportedly told his agent.

The road is now clear for Barcelona to go ahead and activate the player’s €62 million release clause.

Thanks to the power of attorney, Barcelona can make a decision on behalf of the player, thereby easing the process.

The report adds that Barcelona are planning to activate the release clause this week, with some reports pointing towards Friday as the D-day.

Regardless, both Nico and Barcelona are looking to complete the acquisition by the first couple of weeks of this month, with Nico determined to make the move to Barça before Athletic Club return to training.
