Barcelona Moving Fast to Secure Athletic Bilbao Star

Barcelona has shown serious steps to acquire Nico Williams — the meeting between the player’s agent and Barcelona’s Sports Director, Deco, serves as a strong indication of this intent.

The Catalan club’s interest in the Athletic Bilbao winger intensified following Williams’ impressive performance with the Spanish national team at Euro 2024 — the 22-year-old contributed two goals and one assist in six appearances.

Barcelona has expressed willingness to meet Williams’ release clause valued at 58 million euros from Athletic Bilbao — talks with the player’s agent are reportedly progressing positively.

Lamine Yamal, Barcelona’s wonderkid, also showed signs of support through his social media post following the meeting between Williams’ agent and club management.
