Every article: Nico is expected to catch up with Barcelona in the away game and is ready to face the boos at Camp Nou

On November 21, the Western media "Daily Sports" reported that Nico Williams is receiving conservative treatment for a pubic bone injury similar to Yamal, which will allow him to catch up with the game at the Nou Camp. He has been able to train with his teammates this week and scored the winning goal in the team's last league game against Real Oviedo.

Atletico Bilbao desperately needs Nico, even if it means facing a more hostile atmosphere than before. This time, Nico was prepared for the worst. He knows he will be booed, and the boos will probably be even more deafening than last season. Previously, Barcelona offered him an olive branch through his agent, but he refused to join, which disappointed Barcelona fans, who were once full of expectations for his joining.

Boos will become part of the special atmosphere of Barcelona's return to Camp Nou. Hjalmar once endured boos from Montjuic fans during a game when Hansi Flick came up to shake his hand, but Lamine received far more appreciation on the pitch than the boos in the stands.

It is worth mentioning that Nico has a very harmonious relationship with Barcelona’s national team players. His friendships with Balde and Yamal are particularly strong, and thanks to his outgoing personality, he gets along well with other players as well.

The signing of Nico was not originally part of Barcelona's preseason plans, but a transfer opportunity arose. His agent Felix Tienta went to Barcelona to meet with Deco and proposed a transfer package to him. Barcelona needs to pay a release fee of 58 million euros to sign this player.

In short, Deco was more inclined to sign left winger Luis Dias, although his price of 80 million euros was unaffordable for the team. In the end, Dias chose Bayern. The second choice was Nico, but Nico renewed his contract with Bilbao until 2035. This move by the agent was interpreted as increasing the value of the Williams brothers to ensure that he would get a better contract after his contract extension.

Nico's termination fee has increased from 58 million euros to nearly 100 million euros. This amount is far beyond Barcelona's affordability, but it is not impossible for the Premier League teams that have shown interest in him.

Barcelona chose the third option, which was to rent Rashford from Manchester United and buy him out at the end of the season for 30 million pounds. Rashford performed well despite Barca's high hopes for Nico Williams. He closed the door to joining in two consecutive summer windows, which disappointed the fans extremely.

Nico will start. His groin injury has improved significantly and he is a key player under Valverde. The data is very convincing: in the 7 games that Nico was absent, Bilbao was winless, with a record of 6 losses and 1 draw. Nico will be more motivated than ever and this time he is confident that he will not be disturbed by the boos from the fans.
