FC Barcelona Star Raphinha Sends Nico Williams Message After Transfer Snub

FC Barcelona forward Raphinha sent what was perceived to be a message for Nico Williams after the Athletic Club star snubbed the Catalans on Friday.

Nico was expected to be joining Barca in the near future, and reportedly agreed terms to be paid around $8-9 million per season.

It seemed the only thing that was left was for President Joan Laporta and Sporting Director Deco to do was raise the Spain international’s release clause, which has already been done once this summer in respect to getting new goalkeeper Joan Garcia out of his Espanyol contract.

Out of nowhere, however, and on the same day UEFA fined Barca up to $70 million, Nico publicly ridiculed Barca by signing a 10-year extension with Athletic Club until 2025.
