Athletic Bilbao fights to keep star player Nico Williams as Barcelona seeks his signature. Spanish radio network Ser reports the Basque club wants to block the Catalan team from using the release clause. Bilbao officials say Barcelona has not returned to financial compliance rules. The club plans to ask Spanish soccer authorities for help. They want complete oversight of Barcelona's money dealings.

Bilbao questions whether Barcelona can afford the transfer under fair play rules. The Basque team uses every legal option to stop Williams from moving to Camp Nou. Williams signed a contract with a 58 million euro buyout clause. The final cost could reach 62 million euros because of inflation adjustments. Barcelona must prove it can pay before making the transfer.

The Spanish winger remains under contract with Athletic Bilbao despite transfer rumors. Barcelona continues pushing for the deal during the summer window. Bilbao refuses to lose one of its best players easily. The club demands financial transparency from its rival. Spanish league officials may decide the outcome of this dispute.
