FC Barcelona are determined to sign Nico Williams, but there is an obstacle in their way.
His arrival is the top priority for the club’s sporting department. The club reportedly has the money to pay Athletic Club’s release clause, but the 21-year-old has yet to respond to the contract proposal that was sent to his agent this summer.
There is no doubt that Barcelona are the best placed to sign Williams, but they are not the only club in the race. Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa have all been mooted in recent weeks, although in the case of the latter, the Euro 2024-winning winger is walking away, as reported by Football Insider.
One last obstacle for Barça
Aston Villa are still interested in Williams but believe a deal is impossible due to the number of top clubs vying for his signature.
For FC Barcelona, it’s one less club that can beat them to Williams’ signing, which is good news. They hope to finalize a deal over the next week, although they can’t move forward until personal terms are settled.
