Barcelona is determined to make Athletic Club wing player Nico Williams their second signing of the Summer Ransfervars Star 2025, and they are getting closer to performing their attack.
Luis Diaz had been the primary target of Barcelona for the left -wing position, but Williams has emerged again in the past week. He finished a movement last summer, but he is now desperate to become a member of the La Liga champions.
Personal conditions have already been agreed and now another step has been taken in the direction of a deal that is concluded. As reported by ESPN, Barcelona will have no problems paying the release clause of the 22-year-old, which is appreciated at € 58 million.
Barcelona hoped to pay the money in installments, but Athletic insists that the € 58 million will be paid as a one -off payment this summer. And despite their well-documented financial problems, the Catalans can do this after they have already activated the release clause of Joan Garcia, whose arrival was confirmed earlier this week.
Barcelona wants to have Williams signed as quickly as possible, but even though they have the transfer budget available to pay his release clause, they currently do not have the required salary space to fit him in their budget. Players leave before they make their move, and the will of Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Andreas Christensen and Ansu Fati lead to candidates being moved.
There is no doubt that Williams would be a top drawing for Barcelona, ​​and his addition would complete the attacking quartet of Lamine Yamal, Nico Williams, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski. There is trust that a deal will be closed, but for now the player will have to wait to make his desired switch to the Spotify Camp Nou.
