🚨 Barcelona Tel Nico Williams: It’s now or never
Barcelona have their eyes set on Athletic Club winger Nico Williams, but he appears unsure about moving to Catalonia this season. The 22-year-old is leaning towards staying at Athletic for another year.
According to reports, Williams would prefer to wait a year before leaving Bilbao. Sporting director Deco, who remained at Barcelona while they headed to the United States for pre-season, is trying to convince Williams that now is the time to join the Blaugrana. The Brazilian-Portuguese has told Williams that the train is passing and that he will not wait another year, especially since he tried to negotiate with him before his last contract extension. The information from Cadena SER also highlights the fact that Barcelona are renewing their interest in Dani Olmo after resuming talks with his agent at the weekend.
Williams has promised his brother Inaki that he will play with him in Europe for at least one season before leaving. He has a lot of affection for Athletic. Working with Ernesto Valverde, Williams has evolved from an exciting winger to an effective forward in the final third, and he may want to continue his development there.
