Perhaps because its still in the "talks about" stage? As you know the nissan sales between januari 2019 and januari 2020 were marked by a steep decline. The production in sunderland was decreased, but in barcelona there still was a massive overproduction.
Now, due to corona, 3,000 nissan workers in barcelona have been laid of. They will be compensated by the EU corona crisis program, so no skin of the nissan nose.
The sunderland plant was invested in, in 2016, just prior to the referendum (a 60 mln press was invested in). Moving production there decreases loss of investment for the french renault/nissan consortium. Brits working for the french, you couldn't make it up.
