Williams changes his mind after rejecting Barca, but Deco says “train has passed”

Nico Williams was about to sign for Barcelona last summer, but changed his mind at the last moment and decided not to leave Athletic Bilbao. Spanish media write that he regretted it and tried to correct it, but when he contacted Dec he realized "what time it is".

Last summer, Barcelona did not have much money to bring in reinforcements due to financial fair play, and it was clear that the Catalan club could bring only one sound name.

The first wish of the Dec sports director was Nico Williams, because he had the intention that he and Lamine Yamal would be in the wing positions, just like in the Spanish national team, which won the title of European champion last summer.

Although the negotiations between Barcelona and Williams went in the right direction and it was expected that this young footballer would sign for the Catalans, in the end he changed his mind and decided to stay in Bilbao.

He signed a new contract with the club from San Mames and borrowed the jersey with number ten. He felt that it was not yet time to leave Athletic Bilbao, but he repented soon after.

Deco reacted

The Spanish media write that it is wrong for Williams that they convinced him this summer that staying in Bilbao was the best option and that he regrets rejecting Barcelona when he saw what kind of season the Catalan team had.

Williams is also said to be keen to rectify that mistake and reportedly contacted Deco a few days ago when he heard Barcelona wanted to bring in the winger and let it be known that he would like him to be their choice.

However, Deco did not forget what Williams prepared for Barcelona last summer and how he turned them down when everything was already agreed, and he thanked the Athletico player for the invitation and told him that "the train has passed" and that nothing has happened since his arrival at the Blaugrana.

Mundo Deportivo reports that Deco was direct and told Williams that he was no longer on Barcelona's wish list and that the club had several other solutions.

According to everything, Marcus Rashford, who is openly offered, could come to Barcelona, ​​and negotiations between Barca and Manchester United are already underway.

Deca also wants Luis Diaz from Liverpool, but nothing will come of it because the Colombian has decided to go to Saudi Arabia and will almost certainly sign for Al Nassr.
