The possible move of Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams to Barcelona has caused some controversy in the Spanish media field, which La Liga president Javier Tebas is already rushing to dispel.
He revealed that the blaugrana will manage to reach fulfilment of the 1:1 rule in the summer, which is that a club can spend exactly as much as it earns, allowing the Catalans to make signings:
"If the club reaches the 1:1 rule, it will be able to formalise a transfer. You have to realise that thanks to Barcelona's efforts to reduce the wage bill by more than 200 million and the leverage they have, they will be able to fit a player like Nico Williams in perfectly," Tebas told Diario Sport.
Recall that the financial component of the purchase of Williams is estimated to be in the region of 50 million euros.
