Barcelona coach Hansi Flick is planning on turning to the club’s famed La Masia youth system in the immediate aftermath of Nico Williams’s shock snub, reports in Spain claim.
The Spanish forward was thought to be on the verge of joining up with Barcelona this month. Williams had reportedly agreed personal terms with the Catalan giants, who were preparing to pay Athletic Club his release clause in full. Yet, much to the shock of those in Catalonia, Williams penned a new 10-year contract in Bilbao on July 4.
