Despite rumors behind the scenes, Nico Williams should not join FC Barcelona next season.
Courted by FC Barcelona after a convincing Euro 2024 with Spain, Nico Williams will not join Catalonia this summer. Despite an appreciated profile and a solid season at Athletic Bilbao (27 games, 5 goals in La Liga), the 22 -year -old winger is no longer among the priorities of Club Blaugrana. According to Markthe sports director Deco and the new coach Hans-Dieter Flick would have decided: no additional winger will be recruited.
With the presence of Raphinha and the dazzling emergence of Lamine Yamal, the Barça considers his right corridor as sufficiently armed. A decision also dictated by financial considerations, since Nico Williams has a release clause estimated at 60 million euros, and would require an annual salary of 15 million euros. An investment deemed too heavy for a club which must still deal with strict economic constraints.
🚨 Barcelona will not sign Nico Williams or any other winger or any new striker this summer.
