French defender Jules Koundé, a star for Barcelona, has expressed his hope that one of the standout players from Spain’s Euro 2024-winning team will join Barcelona this summer. The club aims to enhance its squad with several key signings to restore its former glory after a challenging season.
While in Barcelona’s camp in the United States, Koundé remarked, “Nico Williams is a great player, and I would certainly like him to be my teammate.” He added, as reported by Spanish outlet Relevo, “We’ll see what the club decides, but it would be great if this could happen.”
Barcelona has shown interest in signing Nico Williams to bolster their squad with a top winger, particularly after his standout performance in Euro 2024 and his role in Spain’s victory. The club has made an official offer and is awaiting Williams’ approval to trigger his release clause, which is set at 58 million euros.
Additionally, Barcelona President Joan Laporta has personally taken over the negotiations, removing Deco from the deal to expedite the contract finalization with Williams.
