Last year, Blaugrana took steps to encourage the star to change club colours after Euro 2024. However, Nico Williams stayed in Bilbao and last season he scored 11 goals and provided seven assists.

At the time, Deco argued that the arrival of Dani Olmo would give Barcelona more benefits than just a winger. In reality, the Catalan club had waited until this summer to sign one of their key players in that position.

For a long time, Liverpool's Luis Diaz was the first choice. The Colombian was ready to leave the Premier League club, but he would cost around 80 million euros. The Spaniards report that the Blaugrana could offer a maximum of 60 million euros at the moment.

And Nico Williams costs even less. Joan Laporta, according to media reports, has already considered options related to finances, whether acquiring the Spaniard would be feasible. The key issue remains the registration of him by LaLiga.

Hansi Flick is also said to be determined to acquire the 22-year-old. Fabrizio Romano comes with important details.

"Barcelona have decided to activate the option of a possible transfer of Nico Williams after obtaining full priority for the player. Barcelona will need more talks with his agent, because they have to discuss the terms of the release clause of 58 million euros from Athletic. It is still not an advanced level of talks, but Barca are already trying," - this is how the Italian journalist describes the matter.

As the Catalan "Sport" adds, the star's entourage is still considering two options and is focusing on getting closer to both of them. It is about a transfer to Barcelona or extending the contract with Athletic. At the moment, Nico has no other options, and sending Laporta's club a signal about the desire to join Robert Lewandowski and Wojciech Szczęsny has caused the club's actions to intensify.

Let's recall that the arrival of the 22-year-old does not mean the end of Raphinha's game. "El Nacional" reported earlier that Hansi Flick wants Nico to play on the left side, and the Brazilian has been moved to the midfield. This is to make him get along even better with the Polish sniper and Lamine Yamal.
