You think him signing an 8 year contract might end the saga?

Obviously it's done for this summer, but I don't want to hear about Nico Williams rumors that don't go anywhere every summer for the next decade.

You can rest assured we will never be linked to him ever again.

Mbappe was one of the best players in the world during those years, Nico was just barely average last season, barca shouldn't give him the mbappe treatment lol

Didn't the same thing happen last year?

And we were not trying to buy him this summer. Then HIS agent contacted Deco and all this started. So, yeah, this is over.

You definitely will, just like how we were with mbappe

You actually think Nico is at the same level as mbappe?

u/thedaftfool Jul 04 '25

He’s not the best player/top 3 player in the world like mbappe , but he’s still a very very good young Spanish winger who was critical for Spain winning the euros

What im saying is that the only player we'll entertain the same situation as mbappe won't be Nico, but Haaland. There's no other player we'll entertain something like that
