Francisco Jose Carrasco expressed his disappointment over Barcelona's failure to sign Nico Williams during the summer transfer window. The former winger emphasized that Williams would have been a perfect fit for manager Hansi Flick's team, though he acknowledged Luis Diaz from Liverpool as a viable alternative. Carrasco indicated that complications with agents and contractual clauses led to the failed negotiations and highlighted Williams as a popular figure for fans, similar to Lamine Yamal, while also mentioning the tactical pressure Yamal faces with opposition defenses.
Carrasco described the Spain international as a 'visual attraction' for young fans, likening his popularity to that of teenage sensation Lamine Yamal.
Carrasco suggested the breakdown in negotiations was due to complications with agents and contractual clauses rather than a lack of effort from the club.
Carrasco believed Williams' arrival would have relieved pressure on Yamal, who is currently the main focus of opposition defenses, just as Lionel Messi once was.
