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 across all competitions, scoring seven goals and providing 16 assists. Known for his versatility, Williams primarily plays on the left wing but can effectively fill various attacking positions. His arrival could greatly strengthen Barcelona’s squad, especially since they frequently use players like Joao Felix, Raphinha, and Fermin Lopez on the left side.
Williams’ efforts have been crucial 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 games left to play. Moreover, their victory in the Copa del Rey has boosted their hopes for a strong finish to the season.
Agent Jorge Mendes has advised Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez to consider a transfer to Barcelona, according to journalist Nicolas Saavedra. Despite Nunez’s £85 million move from Benfica to Liverpool in 2022, Mendes thinks a new environment could be advantageous for the Uruguayan forward, given his high regard for Nunez’s potential. Although Liverpool has Nunez’s value set at €85 million, his move appears feasible, particularly with Barcelona showing interest.
Despite scoring 18 goals and providing 13 assists this season, Darwin Nunez’s time at Liverpool has been less than stellar, with issues in decision-making and composure frustrating fans. Mundo Deportivo recently reported that Barcelona is interested in Nunez, suggesting he could be a valuable investment for the club’s future. With Robert Lewandowski nearing the end of his career at 36, Nunez’s versatility across the forward line would align well with Barcelona’s tactical requirements, adding flexibility and depth to their attack, which has seen significant rotation this season.
