Raphinha, the winger for Barcelona, emphasized that only players who are truly dedicated to the club should wear the Blaugrana jersey. He made this statement in light of Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao deciding against a summer transfer to Barcelona. Williams was reportedly close to signing with the Catalan club but changed his mind right before the deal was finalized due to concerns about Barcelona’s ability to register him for the upcoming La Liga season. In response to this situation, Raphinha commented (as reported by The TouchlineX): “Who is Nico Williams?” “If someone doesn’t wish to be here, they are likely better off not staying… It’s actually beneficial to have top-quality players who are eager to be part of the team and represent this club,” he stated. Barcelona will not seek to recruit Williams in the future, as the chance to acquire him for Camp Nou is permanently lost. After his unsuccessful attempt to move to Barcelona, Williams signed a new long-term deal with Athletic Bilbao.
