Barcelona Cannot Sign Nico Williams This Summer – Victor Font

Barcelona presidential hopeful, Victor Font has come out to insist that the club cannot afford to sign Nico Williams this summer. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, even if the young Spaniard is exactly what Barcelona needs in the team at the moment, he does not agree with Laporta that his signing is a possibility this summer.

Font added that the signing is simply not feasible for the club right now, but that can change in the future.

His words, “I wish we could sign Nico Williams as it is what we need. The president [Joan Laporta] has said it is possible, but that is not true. Today, it cannot be done. We hope it will be possible tomorrow, or the following day. But today, it is not.”

WOW.

Futbol Club Barcelona, commonly referred to as Barcelona and colloquially known as Barça, is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.

Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona.

There is often a fierce rivalry between the two strongest teams in a national league, and this is particularly the case in La Liga, where the game between Barcelona and Real Madrid is known as “The Classic” (El Clásico).

From the start of national competitions the clubs were seen as representatives of two rival regions in Spain: Catalonia and Castile, as well as of the two cities. The rivalry reflects what many regard as the political and cultural tensions felt between Catalans and the Castilians, seen by one author as a re-enactment of the Spanish Civil War. Over the years, the head-to-head record between the two clubs is 102 victories for Madrid, 100 victories for Barcelona, and 52 draws.
