The final days of the summer transfer window are almost upon FC Barcelona and they are fast approaching. La Blaugrana are not yet done with all the movements they have wanted to make in the market, however. To ensure that they do, Barcelona will have to make some important advances.
Fortunately for them, they already know which player they continue to wait for at the club. For many weeks now, ever since the conclusion of the European Championship that Spain won, Barcelona have been eagerly awaiting the chance to sign Nico Williams.
The Athletic Club winger, despite the many contradictory reports that have come up in recent days, still remains a big target for the Catalan giants. While it seemed that Athletic Club are confident about retaining him, there is a twist in the story it seems.
According to Spanish journalist Ivan San Antonio of SPORT, Nico Williams has finally informed FC Barcelona about his decision. The Athletic Club winger wants to arrive this summer and hopes to play for La Blaugrana heading into the new campaign that comes up next.
With this ‘yes’ from Nico Williams, Barcelona finally have the one thing they were waiting for. Now, the objective is to properly sort out the financial structure of his arrival and the release clause of his that needs to be paid upfront. While it will not be an easy task, it is an essential one to guarantee his arrival.
Moreover, the man who continues to work relentlessly to make this transfer happen is none other than Joan Laporta himself. The Barcelona president is willing to go the distance if it means acquiring the electric young winger. For him, the creation of a competitive team under Hansi Flick is exactly what Barça needs to thrive.
As it stands, sources from within Barcelona are apparently feeling certain that the Spanish winger will be a player for the club by next week. Everything is being accelerated as of right now and La Blaugrana are going to put all their eggs in one basket to sign the 22-year-old forward.
