Sport journalist Toni Juanmarti reports that Athletic Club forward Nico Williams is contemplating a move to Barcelona. The 21-year-old has been instrumental for Bilbao this season, appearing in 34 matches and recording seven goals and 16 assists. While he primarily plays on the left wing, Williams is versatile and can fit into various attacking roles.
His potential transfer could significantly boost Barcelona’s squad, which currently features several players, such as Joao Felix, Raphinha, and Fermin Lopez, on the left flank.
Williams has been pivotal in Athletic Bilbao’s pursuit of a top-four finish in La Liga. They are currently in fifth place, six points behind Atletico Madrid with four matches remaining. Their recent Copa del Rey victory has also fueled their drive for a strong end to the season.
In other news, journalist Nicolas Saavedra reports that agent Jorge Mendes has suggested Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez consider a move to Barcelona.
Despite Nunez’s £85 million transfer from Benfica to Liverpool in 2022, Mendes believes a change of scenery could be beneficial for the Uruguayan forward, whom he highly rates. Although Liverpool values Nunez at €85 million, his potential transfer remains on the table, especially with Barcelona expressing interest.
Despite Darwin Nunez’s impressive tally of 18 goals and 13 assists this season, his time at Liverpool has been disappointing, with fans frustrated by his decision-making and composure during crucial moments. Mundo Deportivo recently reported that Barcelona is considering Nunez as a potential long-term investment, especially as Robert Lewandowski approaches the end of his career at 36.
Nunez’s versatility in attacking positions aligns well with Barcelona’s tactical needs, offering flexibility and depth to their forward line, which has seen considerable rotation this season.
