Athletic Bilbao has engaged LaLiga over concerns regarding Barcelona's financial capabilities to sign new players, particularly targeting winger Nico Williams. Despite Barcelona's interest and a stipulated release clause, financial regulations hinder their actions. Athletic is auditing Barcelona’s finances to uphold fair play, which Barcelona's president found perplexing and misdirected. Athletic released a statement thanking LaLiga for its clarity and willingness to discuss these matters, reinforcing their commitment to maintaining competitive integrity in Spanish football.
It is crucial that all clubs adhere to the financial fair play regulations, which ensure transparency and fairness in player transfers and club sustainability. Athletic's audit aims to uphold these standards.
Joan Laporta, FC Barcelona's president, expressed confusion regarding Athletic Club's interactions with LaLiga, suggesting that each club should focus on their own matters rather than involving themselves in Barcelona's financial issues.
