Barcelona’s persistence in pursuing Nico Williams appears to be paying off. Despite the young forward’s recent return to Athletic Club, reports indicate that Williams has expressed his desire to join Barcelona this summer.
According to sources close to the club, Williams has informed Barcelona officials of his intentions, signaling a significant step forward in the potential transfer. This news comes after a summer-long pursuit, with Barcelona now needing to secure the funds required to activate his €58 million release clause.
The recent acquisition of Dani Olmo has temporarily depleted Barcelona’s transfer budget, but the club is optimistic that they will have the necessary funds by next week to finalize the deal. Nico Williams, known for his explosive pace and attacking prowess, is viewed as a key addition to Barcelona’s squad, and his arrival is eagerly anticipated by fans and officials alike.
The pressure is now on Barcelona’s management to ensure the financial aspects are in place to complete this high-profile signing, which could significantly bolster their attacking options for the upcoming season.
