If Nico stays they are going to go for another winger

You still don’t want to accept your tier 1 sources were wrong! He rejected your struggling caboose as his club is just as big as your current club!

Just because his family is going to pressure him into staying doesnt mean anything, it doesnt put either them or Bilbao in a positive light either.

Which winger will they go for if Nico stays?

Romano lol. He’s your tier 1 source? God help you.

You should learn that elders know from experience what they are talking about.

More than likely it will be Olmo. He has played there (a lot) before. Keep in mind he wasn’t a starter in midfield for selection. It was Pedro!

I expect midfield will be Gavi, Pedro and either the German or Dutch veterans. Forwards will be Yamal, Lewa and Olmo.

Still missing a DM and no bench, but a bad starting lineup.

halamadrid2 wrote:Which winger will they go for if Nico stays?

No idea. Not a lot of names were mentioned

They followed Jaden Philogene for some time but he moved to Aston Villa. Désiré Doué, no concrete interest but i've seen this name a couple times. Xavi Simons, but he is not a winger really and already decided to stay

Yh I reckon Olmo will be their only buy with Raphina taking the LW spot. Think they add Guido Rodriguez on a free late August if they lose a game in August.

Heard Doue was close to Bayern, could be wrong. Think Barca put all their eggs in the Nico basket like us with Yoro and have no alternative worth overpaying for, meaning it'll either be someone like Felix on loan again or just Raphina.

We dont even need Olmo who prolly will turn out to be a flop anyway? Lol... hope its not the same old bad transfer decisions thats plagued us in recent yrs... ffs, pls, just get a fking LW. LOL

@Mysyats, Now even Victor Font is saying Laporte is full of shit!

I love Myestats but this mf got absolutely curbstomped by Billy boy. A lot of recent Barça news is a campaign to save face.

Deserved after playing the Barça tyrant to oppress Athletic

Meh Victor Font says the same stuff every summer.

He said we can't afford anyone in the summer that we bought Lewa, Kounde and Raphinha. I'm sure we can afford one signing this summer, the biggest issue is FFP salary margins but even Tebas confirmed this has been largely fixed by now.

However, looking at our targets I wish it were true. Because if they're going to spend another 60m fixed + addons for another injury prone player we don't really need then help us god.

MAJOR BREAKING - Pending Confirmation: Julián Álvarez is CLOSE to joining Atlético de Madrid.

He has offers from PSG and Atleti, but prefers Atleti because of Simeone.

They are working on the contract details.

Must be fake news again.. otherwise one of the dumbest decisions again? Simone would ruin another great attacking player with his football...

It’s not fake. Morata is gone and Griezmann is reportedly leaving as well. They need someone to score goals. PsG has lost it’s attraction. Several players have turned them down this year.

Good bye Legend.

Something random, this guy is the press secretary for the president of Salvador

Nico Williams wants to go to Barça. Today and a month ago. If it doesn't come to fruition, it will not be due to a real lack of desire. He wants guarantees about his registration. @xavi__hdez

All these tier 1 sources,

Why doesnt he come out and say he's staying abuelito? Share your insiders about why he's dragging this out instead of making a statement

Dovbyk to Roma for 38M is a surprise... did so well last season, young decent looking striker scored loads of goals last season... Thought Girona has ambition to go up, apparently not?

Romeu n Roberto gone, so happy with those already Keep it up Flick...

Pep would need to get a replacement for Alvarez for sure then... sad sight to see such a top player going to fking Atletico ffs...?

Atletico has signed Alexander Sørloth according to transfer guru, MTfootball I think Sørloth is a really, really potent striker at his best, but I also find this transfer to be a bit ironic considering how similar he is to Morata in terms of his seemingly fragile mentality and tendency to perform both well and not so well in bursts at a time.

I genuinely do think he looks like a top, top player when his confidence is high, but when it’s low, he looks nowhere near being one. And that’s been the story of his career so far, both for club and country. I don’t think I’ll ever be a big fan of players like that because you never know what to expect from them.
