Williams, 22, seemed set to join Barcelona before changing his mind at the last minute due to concerns about his registration. The club was unable to offer him guarantees that he would be registered without issue.
According to Galan, Tebas revealed confidential information about Barcelona's interim financial statements during a meeting with Athletic. This information included details about the club's profit and loss statement, as well as its capacity for registration.
Galan also stated that Tebas presented a limited review report signed by Crowe Auditores España SL, which further highlighted Barcelona's financial situation. He claimed that Tebas used this information to create concern among Williams' family and attempt to convince them to include a release clause in the player's contract.
As a result of this alleged interference, Williams was unable to secure a transfer to Barcelona. His agent and family were reportedly distrustful of the club's intentions, leading to the breakdown in negotiations.
It is worth noting that the exact circumstances surrounding Williams' decision not to join Barcelona are complex and multifaceted. However, Galan's accusations against Tebas have raised questions about the president's role in the matter.
