According to Sport journalist Toni Juanmarti, Athletic Club forward Nico Williams is considering a transfer to Barcelona. The 21-year-old has been a key player for Bilbao this season, featuring in 34 matches and contributing seven goals and 16 assists. Known for his versatility, Williams primarily plays on the left wing but can easily fill various attacking positions. His arrival could greatly strengthen Barcelona’s squad, particularly given their current use of players such as Joao Felix, Raphinha, and Fermin Lopez on the left side.
Williams has been crucial to Athletic Bilbao’s push for a top-four finish in La Liga. They are currently in fifth place, six points behind Atletico Madrid with four games left to play. Moreover, their victory in the Copa del Rey has boosted their hopes for a strong end to the season.
Agent Jorge Mendes has advised Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez to think about a move to Barcelona, according to journalist Nicolas Saavedra. Despite Nunez’s £85 million transfer from Benfica to Liverpool in 2022, Mendes thinks a new environment could be advantageous for the Uruguayan forward, praising his potential. Although Liverpool has Nunez valued at €85 million, his exit appears possible, particularly with Barcelona showing interest.
Nunez’s time at Liverpool has been disappointing despite his impressive tally of 18 goals and 13 assists this season. His decision-making and composure in key moments have frustrated fans.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona is interested in Nunez, suggesting that acquiring the 24-year-old could be a wise long-term investment, particularly as Robert Lewandowski nears the end of his career at 36. Nunez’s versatility across the forward line fits Barcelona’s tactical needs, providing flexibility and depth to their attack, which has seen significant rotation this season.
