Spanish player Nico Williams was one of the main players in the Spanish team that won the Euro 2024 title.
Given his great form, the compliments and praise for Williams did not stop coming from the president of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta, as well as from other members of the club.
The fact that he gets on so well and forms such a good partnership with Lamine Yamal in bands and dances has increased the bidding. The problem is that Barça has been facing serious financial problems for some time now, which greatly limit the club’s activity in the transfer market.
For several years now, Barcelona has been facing an economic crisis from which it is struggling to emerge. It sold its top players to recover funding and reduce the cost of contracts, but the new stadium and the few titles that the club has won in recent seasons have prolonged the recovery of its accounts.
With players from La Masia and low-cost signings, the Catalan club is surviving and trying to complete its squad to make it more competitive. However, the signing of Nico Williams has gotten into their heads.
Donations to FC Barcelona to buy Nico Williams
Faced with this situation, the Catalans have decided to lend a hand to their club and make donations to increase Barcelona’s coffers and support the signing of the Basque striker.
The club posted a video on its TikTok account to announce Lamine Yamal’s shirt number, which is number 19, a number that Messi also wore in his first years in the Barça shirt.
The truth is that this post has provoked a wave of comments and among them there are some that have not gone unnoticed because of the reason for the message.
Small donations began to appear in the comments, most of them just a few cents accompanied by the message: “To help pay for the transfer of Nico Williams.” This initiative has begun to spread and is appearing in all the videos that FC Barcelona has published on its official account on this social network. But how are the donations made?
TikTok allows users to send “rewards,” as if it were a kind of crowdfunding, to other accounts through comments on videos, making it possible to send money to as many users as they wish.
A move that shows that the Barça fans want Nico for their team, they know that he forms a great duo with Lamine Yamal and if they play like they have done throughout the Euro Cup, it is possible that this year Barcelona will be much more competitive than it has been in recent seasons.
Nico Williams could be the key to his squad, to begin to form a team ready to compete for all the titles against the big teams in the domestic competition, as well as in Europe.
