Tebas believes Barcelona are close to signing Nico Williams
Ahead of the new season, Tebas has expressed optimism about the Blaugrana's improving financial situation
"If Barça return to a 1:1 spending limit [permitted to invest anything they raise in transfers or savings on wages], meaning they aren't above their cap, they will be able to do so," Tebas told Diario Sport.
"You have to think that with Barcelona's efforts to reduce their wage bill by more than €200m and other measures that have already taken place within the club that have nothing to do with their financial levers [selling assets], it is perfectly possible to bring in a player like Nico Williams."
Williams has starred at EURO 2024, helping Spain reach the final where they will face England.
