But even so, they will still try to get it, it will not be easy for Barcelona to be able to spend lot of money and bring in Nico Williams, but the fans are very excited for it to happen.
If they can really make lot of money in fundraising then it could make history where big team like Barcelona gets new players bought by fans, haha ​​that very embarrassing.

Financial problems that occurred and experienced by Barcelona will take long time to be resolved, I think they will still find it difficult in the next one or two season to be able to compete for the title.
If Nico Williams joins them then he is sure to fast from winning the title for several season, joining PSG is also not bad thing in my opinion.
Indeed, Ligue 1 is not very popular league but Nico Williams can develop here like what Mbappe did before, he will be able to become star with several titles before joining another big team in the future.

I'm sure PSG will be able to even spend more money on hiring players like Nico Williams. Nico Williams is a good player and he is young too which can make Nico Williams to play for PSG and shine there for years. But Nico Williams is still in Bilbao and I'm sure they know they should try to keep Nico Williams in the team for al long time or as the last plan they should get more for selling this player.

Nico Williams would have been the biggest positive news that would have happened to Barcelona in this season. Combining him with Lamine Yamal would have produced one of the most productive attacking forces in La Liga. But it is now clear that Barca has zero chance of signing him, and there are reports that Athletic Club will not sell him this season. Interested clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, and PSG will have to look for other alternatives. Barca was looking towards Dani Olmo as another target to cover the loss of Nico, but it seems RB Leipzig is asking for about €60millon, and I don't know if Barca can afford such an amount. Joan Laporta wanted to make serious moves to get this young player, but Victor Font, who might be the next president of Barca, clarified that it is not possible to get Nico this season.

Nico Williams would suit both clubs, but the choice certainly won't be easy. PSG has Luis Enrique as their coach, while Barcelona is the dream team for many Spanish players apart from Real Madrid. I tend to agree if Nico Williams chooses Barcelona, ​​but Barcelona's unstable financial condition must be considered carefully before Nico Williams makes a decision.

Nico Williams will be Hansi Flick's main choice if he joins Barcelona, ​​of course because his duet with Lamine Yamal and Lewandowski is more anticipated. Barcelona will be better if Nico Williams joins, that is the hope from all of fans. But Barcelona also needs to consider other alternatives if Nico Williams does not join, while Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati are also already in the squad.

I thought Barcelona didn't have money to sign new players, I saw their fans on tiktok live donating gifts to assist in signing Nico William when everything was looking positive for Barcelona to sign him. PSG is going to be the best club for him to go to as he can win many trophies with them. Real Madrid has an unstoppable team that no players should be going to their rivals as it is going to take sometimes before any team is going to win anything in la liga. At PSG he's going to be treated as a king and have alot of minutes to play which will help him improve at his skills and get more famous. French league isn't very popular but it'll give him more playing time.

Hoooooly s... That is a lot of money. They are paying 60 million, plus 10 million bonus, plus Renato Sanchez to get Joao Neves. Don't get me wrong that kid is a great player and they do need more players on their midfield so the transfer itself is not that bad at all, but the amount? I mean for a kid?

Well, they do have a lot of money so it wouldn't shock me that they are spending this much again, but haven't they learned anything from the past ten or so years? They have been spending 100+ a year on players every single season and they are having trouble getting good results anyway, aside from ligue one of course which they are used to by now and not even celebrating to be fair. I think it's clear that we are going to end up a good team this year anyway, so they can be very happy with this deal.

Nico Williams plays in the left wing of the attack and Paris Saint Germaine already have a young, pacy and energetic player who plays in that position. Bradley Barcola who's a Paris Saint Germaine player plays in that position and if Nico Williams should join the club, he'll face strong competition from the France international for who'll will be a  regular starter in that position.
Personally I feel Barcelona is the best club to go for Nico Williams at the moment because he'll easily adapt to another Spanish club than moving to a different league. I'm surprised that Barcelona are yet to sign Nico Williams by this time of the summer despite all the reports about their seriousness to sign the Spain international

IMO, it seems that PSG will not have a difficult season even without Mbappe in the Ligue 1 competition. because after all they are a strong team that has a depth of players above the average of their competitors, and I have no doubt that Goncalo Ramos or Randal Kolo Muani can be better than the previous season. my speculation is, at least one of these players has adapted very well and played with high performance. besides, if PSG does not have a main striker who can be relied on. Enrique once rotated Marco Asensio as a center forward before he was injured, and his performance was quite good.

Talking about Nico Williams, I would not put him like Mbappe. unless, if Enrique wants Nico to also focus on scoring goals.
I mean this 22-year-old player is more ideal in the winger position, his role can be very central when PSG builds attacks and this player can penetrate the opponent's defense. but, his job is not to be a player who becomes a finisher in the PSG squad. while Mbappe is a player who can play in several positions. even under Luis Enrique he is often played as a center forward, but that does not mean Nico Williams can not do it. it's just that, we often see him operating in the wing sector. related to Barcelona, ​​we have no recent news that links if they have given a proposal to Bilbao. let's assume Nico to PSG, then he can be a good choice for Enrique in his position he plays, his presence can sharpen the Paris Saint-Germain attack line.

I fully support your opinion about PSG and the future of its players. I know most people think that if PSG signs Nico, they will definitely get all the benefits, but unfortunately PSG will not get that expectation if they still have selfishness like last season.
There have been so many star players who have stopped by PSG but have never gotten the benefit of a prestigious title and on the other hand even though Nico can be acquired by PSG, there is no guarantee that he will have a better future while Mbappe can only get the league 1 title without being able to get the experience to get the UCL title.

Maybe if Nico can join PSG and can have reliable performance quality, he could end up the same as Mbappe who will continue to be maintained with all the drama.

Obviously it appears Marseille isn't even looking to take chances at all, they want to make sure they utilize opportunities around and improve the best they can, last season, they had what I could call an average season such that a little more improvement will get them to doing even much better and finishing amongst the top teams who are  now considered the elite, this buy for me is literally a good one even if it's considered cheap, I believe with proper grooming, he will be an asset to the team and in the longe term he will become a store of value for them, I'm optimistic about some positive changes with Marseille in the new season.

After all, the current head coach of PSG is Luis Enrique who is also from Spain and thus, I am sure that if Nico Williams plays at PSG it will not be difficult to adapt. After all, in the past also Luis Enrique was the coach of Barcelona and thus, there does not seem to be a significant difference in the gameplay factor and thus, Nico Williams will be fine if he really plays for PSG next season.

But, if PSG manages to sign Osimhen and Nico Williams, then I am sure the PSG squad will remain solid next season and of course, playing at PSG will be sure to get trophies. Although it can only be ensured to win trophies in domestic competitions, but at least their careers and experience will also improve well at PSG.

I will prefer Nicole Williams to play in Barcelona but for the main time he might not be able to win any trophy because of Real Madrid but in the long run he can achieve that because he is not the only player in Barcelona. However, if he plays in PSG he will surely win trophies and will be more respected than in Barcelona because I heard a threat from Barcelona management about forcing Nicole into the club this season which he does not want to join Barcelona currently till next season will be over. And that has made Barcelona to say that the club will not ne needing him after next season if he doesn't accept their offer now. Very funny that a club is giving the young upcoming superstar conditions.

The compatibility is clearly visible between PSG and Nico William because of the Luis Enrique factor, he can make Nico William adapt quickly because he can easily understand the strategy implemented by Enrique. PSG must be more serious about bringing in Nico because he is the most desired property in this transfer market, many big clubs want to bring him in after his impressive performance while defending Spain at the Euros.
Nico can win titles with PSG, and get a chance to play in the Champions League, the decision to move to PSG would be better for him than staying in Bilbao. Barcelona began to give up on pursuing Nico because the process was considered quite complicated, Barcelona was also unable to meet the price that Bilbao wanted because they were in a financial crisis.

Inside a club, there must be internal competition among players to get a spot in main squad. Without competition internally, star players will no longer have motivation to focus on training and improve themselves. It's very natural with everyone, not only football star players. Young players can compete with young players and can learn from senior star players, that will help young players to grow up faster and better. It's good for the club in general for quality improvement and maintain motivation of players.

High salary for players is like a double-edged tool that can sometimes force players to play better but sometimes will put them to parties and less focus on football from training to performance on field. There are examples over years that youth talented players self-destroyed their career because of money and party. Not all young players can cope well with money, life beyond football and lack of support from the club, parents, they will easily fall into many life traps.

Pressure at big clubs is another risk to destroy youth player's career. They're young and lack of experience to deal with big pressure and high expectation on them, so they're sensitive with attacks, critics from media when their performances aren't good enough.

To say something about what we do not know yet whether he will easily adapt to the French League or not, each player has different game criteria, even though he looks successful in bringing Spain, it is not certain that Nico Williams' game will be good or even compete with other PSG players who have experience, but if PSG makes an offer to him, Nico Williams must accept it and must have the courage to seek experience within himself.

However, a player must have internal competition to be able to continue to develop his abilities, if he can very easily get a main place without any competition then that is not good in my opinion, the player will feel comfort and that comfort is what could kill their career, especially if The player is still young and still has a lot of time to continue improving his abilities so he can be even better.

At Paris Saint Germain he could get a very high salary, and not only that, he could also easily get a place. But I hope money is not a priority for him, he is still young he should think more about his career first because he still has a long way to go at the moment. If he is tempted just because of money, I'm afraid it will actually hinder his career development. It would be a shame if a player with excellent abilities and great potential were to simply disappear from the world of football.

For the first time I have seen Marseille relentless in their summer transfer activity and they have again acquired a player they have been looking for from Swedish club Malmo in Derek Cornelius. He is a 27-year-old centre-back and we can see how strong Marseille's defense will be next season with his addition.

Marseille signed him for a cheap fee of €4.3m which is more than his current market value of €2.8m. But I think that is okay as long as his contribution to his new club is worth it and surely De Zerbi has been watching him for quite some time and under his guidance he will mature more later. His trip to Marseille is scheduled for next week along with the signing of the contract.

If Nico Williams plays for PSG I think he plays a full season and he will dominate Ligue 1. I think Nico Williams will replace Mbappe and win a lot of awards there. PSG is the best club in Ligue 1 at the moment and unfortunately they don't have a rival like in La Liga. Nico can win Ligue 1 but I think his career will be better if he stays in La Liga. Barcelona is the right club for him at the moment. There is Yamal and some other Spanish national team players so it will be easy for him to adapt and compete with Real Madrid at the top of the standings.

Are you sure about what you said? In theory it should be like that, but have you forgotten when Paris Saint Germain had Mbappe and lost him? How much money did they make from Mbappe's departure?
The same thing might happen to them if they managed to get Nico Williams, they would as usual delay the transfer until their player is a free transfer. The president of Paris Saint Germain did say he didn't feel a loss from Mbappe's departure, but we as someone who sees this will definitely say the same thing. Because they could have earned a lot of money if they hadn't forced themselves to keep this player last season.
Honestly, I personally feel skeptical about what Paris Saint Germain often does in terms of spending money on a player.
