Recent news indicates that Barcelona is keen on acquiring Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams. The club’s leadership, including Joan Laporta and sporting director Deco, is working to finalize the contract with Williams, who has made a notable impact with Athletic Bilbao and the Spain national team during Euro 2024. His impressive performances, especially alongside Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal, have drawn Barcelona’s attention. “Mundo Deportivo” reports that Barcelona has urged Williams to respond quickly to their offer, noting that if he turns it down, they will pivot to pursuing Dani Olmo instead.
Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that Barcelona is focusing exclusively on signing Nico Williams at the moment and will consider other targets later. He mentioned that the club intends to ramp up negotiations this week to finalize the personal terms, with Deco spearheading efforts to speed up the process.
During Euro 2024, the Athletic Bilbao winger participated in all of Spain’s matches, netting two goals and delivering one assist.
