Laporta Sends a Sharp Message to Athletic Bilbao
Joan Laporta, the president of FC Barcelona, commented on the ongoing tension with Athletic Bilbao regarding the transfer deal for player Nico Williams, who is close to officially moving to the Catalan team during the summer transfer window.
In his statements, Laporta said: "Our relationship with Bilbao is good; there has been some misunderstanding over the past period, and perhaps some incidents contributed to that, but still, I don't think we can say that our relationship is not good."
The Barcelona president added: "Our relationship with Bilbao is not something that has arisen in a year or two; it extends back many years, and Barcelona is one of the clubs with a rich history."
Laporta concluded his statements with a direct message, saying: "I do not understand the reasons for the reactions coming from Bilbao, and I think everyone should take care of their own affairs, with all my respect and appreciation."
