Video – Barcelona players joke with winger target about becoming club’s new No. 10

Nico WIlliam has been one of the rising stars in the ongoing European Championship, having played a key role in helping Spain win all three of their group games.

Nico’s partnership with Lamine Yamal in the attacking third has been a particular highlight and there is now talk of the Athletic Club winger potentially joining the Catalans this summer.

Amid rampant speculation, over his future, Nico Williams was the subject of a lighthearted joke from his Spain teammates during a training session ahead of their Euro 2024 clash against Georgia.

In a recently surfaced video, Barcelona players including Pedri and Ferran Torres joked with Williams about potentially inheriting the prestigious No. 10 shirt at Camp Nou.

The lighthearted conversation began with a reference to the No. 10 shirt, currently held by Ansu Fati. The exchange then turned to Williams, with Pedri playfully insisting that there can’t be three No. 10s in the team.

Ferran Torres then added to the teasing, saying that Williams’ hairstyle wouldn’t suit a No. 10.

Barcelona, though, certainly won’t mind Nico’s hairstyle, should they get the opportunity to sign the Spanish international in the upcoming summer transfer window.

However, Nico himself has recently played down rumours over his future, expressing his delight at Athletic Club. Barcelona, therefore, might need to look elsewhere if they are to beef up their attacking unit this summer.
