– FC Barcelona has reportedly agreed with Nico Williams, a key target for the summer transfer window, as per SPORT.
– Williams, who impressed during Euro 2024, scored the opening goal in Spain’s final win over England and showcased his talent against top teams.
– Despite Barcelona’s interest, they have not yet secured his transfer from Athletic Club, though they recently signed Dani Olmo for $60 million.
– Anonymous sources indicate that Nico Williams has expressed a desire to join Barcelona this summer, with a potential move expected next week.
– Sporting Director Deco has been pivotal in negotiations, meeting with Williams and his agent in Zaragoza.
– The primary challenge remains meeting Williams’ release clause of approximately $67.7 million.
– Should Williams join, it could impact Olmo’s position, who might instead compete for a spot in midfield rather than on the left wing following underwhelming performances from Torres and Felix last season.
