The battle for **Nico Williams** has taken a dramatic turn.
According to **Cadena SER**, **Athletic Club president Jon Uriarte** and **CEO Jon Berasategi** have formally alerted both the **RFEF** (Spanish Football Federation) and **La Liga** of their **intention to scrutinize all of FC Barcelona’s financial activities** surrounding the proposed transfer.
**Athletic believe Barça are not currently in compliance with La Liga’s 1:1 spending rule**, and argue that — under the current conditions — the Catalan club **should not be permitted to activate Nico Williams’ €58M release clause**.
**Athletic are ready to go to war** to protect their star man and will not let him leave without a legal and financial battle if necessary.
This sets the stage for an intense showdown not just on the pitch — but behind closed doors at La Liga HQ.
All eyes now on Barcelona’s next move — and whether La Liga will step in.
