Recent press reports have confirmed that Barcelona has signed Neco Williams from Athletic Bilbao. Barcelona’s interest in Williams grew due to his outstanding recent performances, which have attracted attention from several major European clubs.
Laporta had earlier mentioned that acquiring Williams was relatively straightforward, with the team considering activating his release clause to secure his transfer. Barcelona aims to strengthen their first-team squad effectively, as they are eager to regain their dominance, return to the top, and win more titles after a period of missing out on major trophies.
The Catalan newspaper Sport reports that Paris Saint-Germain is also interested in signing Neco Williams, the Athletic Club Bilbao player whom Barcelona is targeting this summer. The paper notes that PSG’s substantial offer is causing a delay in Williams’ response to Barcelona, making Laporta concerned about the possibility of the player moving to Paris Saint-Germain instead.
