World Sports: Nico s transfer negotiations are blocked, Barcelona once again turn their attention to Dias

"World Sports" reported that when Nico Williams' transfer negotiations were blocked, Barcelona once again turned their attention to Louis Dias.

Barcelona still regards signing Nico as the top priority for signing this summer. Compared with 28-year-old Louis Dias, the Athletic Bilbao winger is better in terms of age advantages, media influence and return on investment potential, and can win the recognition of Barcelona fans.

However, the club's sports department and management have not forgotten Dias. He was originally a plan A for the winger position signing in the 2025-26 season. As World Sports revealed that Nico's transfer was deadlocked, Dias' team has sent a signal to Barcelona's management that players are still operational.

Barcelona originally expected Dias's agent to put pressure on Liverpool to promote the transfer, but its team was slow to move and was seized by Nico's agent Teinta. Now taking advantage of the obstacles in Nico's negotiations, Dias's camp has become active again.

Although Diaz knew he was the first choice in Deco's original plan, he was still behind Nico at this stage. In the coming days, the situation will depend on the progress of negotiations between Barcelona and Bilbao. Although Liverpool is unwilling to let go, it has spent 211.9 million euros this summer to sign Flynnon, Wilz and Kolkerz. Dias's team believes that the continued pressure will eventually open the exit channel, and Barcelona and Bayern are their potential next players.

At the economic level, introducing the Red Army winger requires persuading the club, but the transfer fee is expected to be paid in installments. Compared with Nico, Diaz needs to invest less, but its age factor will affect the resale value in the next three to four years.
