World Sports: Barcelona and Biba have tense relations, and if you want to sign Nico, you will have to pay a termination fee

June 16, World Sports reported that the relationship between Barcelona and Biba is tense, and if you want to sign Nico, you will have to pay a termination fee.

Barcelona rekinds interest in Nico Williams, a time of tension with Athletic Bilbao. Biba made it clear that there was no contact between the clubs. If you decide to sign the winger, Barcelona must pay the player's termination fee, which has been further increased from 58 million euros last season.

Sources have expressed their attitude to the sport: "Barcelona pays if they want people, it's that simple."

The relationship between the two clubs has started to deteriorate two years ago. Although Bilbao has not filed separate charges for the Negrera case like Real Madrid did, it has always been sharply critical of Barcelona and has no concealment. When the two teams met on March 12, 2023, some Biba fans threw banknotes with the words "Mafia", US dollar sign and Barcelona team logo printed on the stadium, and shouted slogans such as "Go relegation". After the game, Xavi himself expressed surprise at this hostility.

Bibao is also deeply dissatisfied with Barcelona's public pursuit of Nico Williams last summer. In the last round of La Liga in 2024-25, Barcelona players were repeatedly insulted by fans.

Barcelona Chairman Advisor Enrique Masip protested, immediately triggering a counterattack from Bibao Chairman Jon Uriat: "The people have the right to express themselves freely within a reasonable range, but people are tired and tired." He emphasized that "what the public needs is the truth", especially "about the confirmed existence but still unclear Negrera payment incident."

Bi Bao also questioned Barcelona's player registration issues and sports institutions' intervention: "Political institutions intervene and approve registration. We and the fans are not used to these abnormal phenomena."

Uriat also complained that Barcelona President Laporta did not congratulate them on their qualifying for the Champions League in the final round.

Barcelona has responded to Uriat many times. Sports Director Deko has stated earlier on the registration issue: "Chairman Bibao should take care of his own affairs, and every club has difficulties. We are trying our best to do our best, and we will make a judgment on the right and wrong. Since the current ruling is beneficial to us, it means that there is a reasonable basis."
