Spanish media reports have revealed that FC Barcelona has definitively decided to close the file on the signing of Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams, confirming that there will be no 'third chance' for the Spanish star.

Barcelona had been working to sign Williams this summer as he was the main target for the team, before the player decided to stay and renew his contract with the Basque club until the summer of 2035, a news that was shocking in Barcelona's offices.

According to the Catalan newspaper 'Sport', Barcelona officials feel a great disappointment after failing to reach an agreement with the player, despite the significant efforts made to secure his signing, believing that the club had offered everything possible to make the deal successful.

The deal failed due to the club's inability to provide the player with guarantees regarding his registration with La Liga for the upcoming season, noting that Barcelona had tried to sign the player last summer but he ultimately decided to stay with the Basque club for the same reason.

Thus, Barcelona closes the chapter on Nico Williams and begins searching for new alternatives in the summer transfer market.
