Nico Williams set to reunite with Spanish winger as he looks to join FC Barcelona

Nico Williams may end up being the well-known player to exit the UEFA Euro 2024. In front of Italy, the Spanish player displayed his best side, which appears to go against Barça's interest in the 21-year-old.

The administration of FC Barcelona believes that Nico Williams has a profile that perfectly complements Hansi Flick's and the team's goals. Along with players like Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal, who are currently locked into Barcelona's starting lineup for the upcoming campaign, the Catalan squad hopes to construct a formidable offensive trident. However, the battle to stay with the Spanish winger is far from easy.

Nico Williams has a release clause in his contract involving the Athletic Club, thus he could end up being one of the names that stands out in the summer signing class. His ability to perform at the greatest level on the international scene has sparked competition between interested clubs, forcing some like FC Barcelona to make major financial sacrifices in order to secure his acquisition.

Which other clubs have been interested in Nico Williams?

Additionally, discussions have taken place with Aston Villa and Newcastle United. In addition, Liverpool might potentially want to replace Mo Salah on a long-term basis given Saudi Arabia's ongoing interest in the seasoned wide player. The lightning-fast Spain international, who is among the fastest attackers in European football, had a fantastic 2023–24 season at San Mames with his elder brother Inaki Williams.

His eight goals and seventeen assists across all competitions allayed earlier worries about his final product. Additionally, Williams offers outstanding value in a pricey market with a £43 million release clause. 

Regretfully for the aforementioned four of Premier League players, Williams still keeps his UK-based admirers at a distance. After more discussions, he is still focused on making his dream transfer to Barcelona. With a great understanding with Lamine Yamal, the attacker might be tempted even more to make the move to Camp Nou.
