Sky Sports' renowned Italian transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano, criticized those who rumour mongers, including our website's including the notoriously infamous "Ms. Hype Up", who deliberately lied and twisted true circumstances of the fact that Athletic Bilbao wonderkid Nico Williams suddenly renewed his 10-year contract with the club, which led to the possibility of his transfer to Barcelona falling through by blaming the player and his agent and that Barcelona were "furious" about this, through his personal paid column on Saturday!

Wow! That is surely one heck of a super long intro!

Romano criticized in his column that: "Everyone in the football world is already extremely sad today because of the funerals of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva, but life still has to go on, and I still have to fulfill my duty to deliver the most timely and correct transfer news to everyone, but this does not mean that you can take the opportunity to spread rumours and ruin everyone's already awful mood for the whole day."

"I have said many times in the past few days, whether on X (Twitter) or here, that Nico Williams' potential transfer may fall through because the player and his agent have some personal terms in the contract that cannot be guaranteed by

Barça, and that is a big problem."

"Barcelona has indeed approached Nico a long time ago and reached an agreement on some parts of the personal terms. The player has even given his "green light" about the conditions offered, including salary and bonuses."

"Barça has always said that they think they should have no problem paying his release clause, but in fact, the club has never really paid a penny. "

"Since last year, I have said that Athletic Bilbao has stipulated that his €58 million release clause must be paid in full in one payment before it can be considered to be truly triggered, just like Victor Osimhen and Napoli's situation. "

"At the same time, Nico and his agent have made it clear during the approach that in order to avoid the embarrassing situation of Dani Olmo's player registration quota application being rejected in January and being unable to play, the agent and the player have asked Barça to include a guarantee that Nico can immediately leave the club freely in accordance with the special release clause in the contract when this situation happens again. "

"However, the Blaugrana never did, and Nico and his agent waited until the end without any follow-up."

"On the other hand, Athletic Bilbao always believed that as long as Barça did not fulfill its promise to meet this written guarantee, this potential transfer could fall through at any time."

"Bilbao just seized the opportunity and completed the contract extension at a "lightning-fast" speed."

"Is Barça disappointed? Of course yes; are they dissatisfied? Surely, but it is not enough to blame all the problems on Nico and his agent. After all, even if it is satisfied, the transfer still needs to be approved by the La Liga before it can be officially completed."

"So in the end, no one blamed anyone for the transfer's failure. I know that some players were emotional and posted "I love Barça" declaration on their social media accounts. I can understand their disappointment, but to blame someone as a "Betrayer"?! Things did not went that deep yet!"

"Those are just fake things that people who have nothing to do and like to stir up trouble in order to create disputes and clickbait advocates and writes!"

In fact, I had already found out "Ms. Hype Up" in the evening yesterday, and had already expected that she would probably not be able to escape the fate of being severely criticized by Romano that night.

Later, because I had to watch, organize and edit the funeral and burial ceremony of Jota and his brother André, I temporarily ignored it. Until the moment I finished my work late at night, my mobile phone immediately popped up a push notification that a new article had been published on Romano's paid column.

At that time, although I was very tired, I immediately realized that "Ms. Hype Up" was in a trouble again, and the fact really happened as expected!

Upon verification, the remarks about "Barça's management were furious at being "tricked"" all came from Barça's mouthpiece Diario Sport, pro-Barcelona internet celebrity Jijantes, Real Madrid's mouthpiece AS, who was eager to "protect its master", Real Madrid was publicly criticized many times by Athletic Bilbao's management for their several complaints and bullying of referees last season and those Chinese content farm writers who like to mislead the public opinion and are pro-Barça, and "Ms. Hype Up" herself!

Except for the journalists and writers of these inferior media outlets, no other media outlets or journalists have reported on these so-called things that they have claimed to have happened!

Facts have once again proved that "Ms. Hype Up" has once again perfectly interpreted what is the best example of "although I have been severely criticized by the editor and Romano, and have been advised many times not to blindly believe in the one-sided words of some people and deliberately follow the trend to spread rumours, but I never want to listen to anything. I just want to live my own way in my own fantasy world that I like and enjoy"!

It seems that "Ms. Hype Up" is really the one who deserves to be "put on the stage" and then be "slapped one time after another" and slammed by Romano again on this platform!
