If he renews with Athletic and raises his clause he might aswell become a Athletic Club legend like his brother. But I really doubt that.

Should forget Bilbao and come now so he can be part of the new project

It is a player decision saga, most transfer rumours are about club negotiations with agents or clubs using journalists to push their narrative.
Now, niether Bilbao or Nico needs that, and even Barca reached the most they would want with confirming we are there for him and his favourite destination if he moves.
Now, no one needs to leak anything until a decision is made, and guys like Fabrizio don't need to risk it, saying he is staying when nothing is confirmed

Nico sits at home and thinks about it. There is nothing to tell until Nico decides.

That's true. I'm just saying that very reliable sources are saying nothing, which means decision hasn't been made (or leaked) yet.
All other sources are likely making stuff up. Hopefully this is done ASAP.

They’ll just play Dani Olmo there brother.
I mean Nico is the only available player that would improve us there. Olmo would be decent I guess, but not better than Raphina (nice depth though). I just disagree with the priorities. Unless some La Masia dude turns out to be Busi 2.0.

I just regret Dembele going tbh. Ok, people will post his goal stats in France and say hahaha, but the fact is he fit extremely well with the team and his qualities complimented the other players very well. I am sure that if Dembele stayed for another season Lewa would have done much better.
Regardless of his issues with scoring that type of player who can dribble anyone on the wing, so fast and both footed, is exactly the type of winger we're looking for now and we already had it.
It's hard to know, it may be possible that nothing could be done and he would always leave, but I'm sure I also read part of the reason he left was friction with the board and wanting a higher salary.
Side note, thing that is most bizarre is he hasn't been injured once since April 2023. Could be just really bad luck that he found fitness after leaving or something with the medical team here.

Yep I think Dembele leaving and always been injured screwed the plan the club had regarding the LW position, they bought raphinha with Dembele playing the LW, their was a thought back then, that while Dembele's general play is better on the right, he's more effective on the Left.
But he's a little bitch, so fuck him
It's injury record since leaving is interest indeed.

Xavi preferred Dembele on the right to Raphinha.
He tried Dembele a few times at LW and Raphinha right but not all that often and moved away from it fairly quickly.
Then settled on Gavi AML ahead of Dembele there and Dembele on the right when available.
No doubt he would rather have kept Dembele of the two by time season finished.. but Dembele bailed.
