Recent press reports have highlighted that Barcelona is eager to sign Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams. The club’s management, led by Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco, aims to finalize the contract with Williams, who has impressed with his performances for both Athletic Bilbao and the Spain national team during Euro 2024. Williams’ strong showing, particularly his partnership with Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal, has caught Barcelona’s eye.
According to “Mundo Deportivo,” Barcelona has asked Williams for a prompt response to their offer, warning that if he declines, they will shift their focus to securing the deal for Dani Olmo.
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has stated that Barcelona is currently concentrating solely on securing Williams and will address other targets afterward. He added that the club plans to intensify negotiations this week to finalize personal terms, with Deco leading efforts to expedite the agreement.
The Athletic Bilbao winger played in every match for Spain during Euro 2024, scoring two goals and providing one assist.
