With the highly anticipated deal with Nikenow finalized and a significant financial boost expected from returning to the Spotify Camp Nou next season, Barcelona are preparing for a major signing in the summer of 2025. According to Fabrizio Romano, two players are at the top of their wishlist: Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao and Rafael Leão from AC Milan, both of whom are highly valued by the club’s leadership.
These players would strengthen Barcelona’s attacking options on the left wing, adding much-needed depth to an attack that has relied on just three players—Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Robert Lewandowski—this season.
Nico Williams came close to joining Barça last summer, while Leão’s agent, Jorge Mendes, has a strong relationship with club president Joan Laporta, further fueling the speculation as the transfer window approaches.
It remains to be seen whether either player will make the move, but Barcelona fans can expect these names to dominate transfer discussions in the coming months.
