FC Barcelona 's failed attempt to sign Nico Williams and the latter's contract extension with Athletic Bilbao continue to provoke reactions. This time, it is the turn of former Blaugrana president Joan Gaspart to speak out on this episode by sending a clear message to the young Basque player on the El Marcador show on Radio Marca . " I prefer Raphinha to play, he is much better than Nico ," he said, specifying that the absence of Nico Williams should not harm the 2025-2026 project of Hansi Flick's team.
" Athletic put more passion, more desire, more of everything into keeping him. It's something I've experienced myself during several transfers. Passion is essential. I've already had to convince more than one woman to persuade her husband to sign for Barça. With me, Nico would have signed for Barça ," joked Gaspart, known for his striking statements. Just before these comments, Gaspart had made a point of affirming his anti-Madrid attitude: " I want PSG to win so that Madrid loses. Period. You know very well that white has never suited me ." And one more supporter for the capital club.
