Barça, who had the conditions agreed with his agent Félix Tainta, are still waiting for the response from the Athletic international player with less than three weeks left to close the market, which ends on Friday, August 30.

In fact, it wants to close the file, whatever the outcome, before August 24, when the transfer window closes. Barça will face the red-and-white club in the League.
Williams Jrwho yesterday was seen on social media training alone in the Spanish national team kit, did not travel to Stuttgart with the Biscayan team for the last friendly match of the pre-season.
