Athletic Club’s forward, Nico Williams, is reportedly considering a transfer to Barcelona, according to Sport journalist Toni Juanmarti. At 21, Williams has been a key player for Bilbao this season, featuring in 34 matches with seven goals and 16 assists. Known for his versatility, he mainly plays on the left wing but can easily take on various attacking roles. His potential move could greatly enhance Barcelona’s squad, which already includes players like Joao Felix, Raphinha, and Fermin Lopez on the left side.
Williams has played a crucial role in Athletic Bilbao’s push for a top-four finish in La Liga. They are currently in fifth place, trailing Atletico Madrid by six points with four games left. Bilbao’s victory in the Copa del Rey has also boosted their hopes for a strong end to the season.

In other news, agent Jorge Mendes has suggested to Liverpool’s Darwin Nunez that he should consider a move to Barcelona, according to journalist Nicolas Saavedra. Despite Nunez’s £85 million transfer from Benfica to Liverpool in 2022, Mendes feels a new environment could benefit the Uruguayan forward, highlighting his strong belief in Nunez’s potential. While Liverpool values Nunez at €85 million, his exit appears possible, especially given Barcelona’s interest.
Nunez’s time at Liverpool has been disappointing, even with his impressive tally of 18 goals and 13 assists this season. His decision-making and calmness in critical situations have been a source of frustration for Liverpool fans. Mundo Deportivo recently reported that Barcelona is interested in Nunez, suggesting that acquiring the 24-year-old could be a wise investment for the club’s future, particularly as Robert Lewandowski nears the end of his career at 36. Nunez’s ability to play various attacking roles fits well with Barcelona’s tactical requirements, providing flexibility and depth to their forward line, which has seen significant changes this season.
