Barcelona are making big moves in the transfer window, taking decisive action to bring Spanish-Ghanaian winger Nico Williams to Camp Nou.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the Catalan giants have chosen to activate the 22-year-old’s €58 million release clause following internal discussions that made him a key priority for the club.
Though the deal isn’t complete, negotiations are picking up pace. More meetings with Williams’ agent are expected, with Barcelona keen to wrap things up quickly before other top clubs pounce. Bayern Munich and Arsenal have also shown strong interest in the talented winger, but Barcelona remain confident of securing his signature.
Nico Williams has become a favourite among Barcelona fans thanks to his friendship with rising star Lamine Yamal in the Spanish national team setup. That chemistry is something many supporters believe will blossom at club level if the transfer goes through.
Last season, Williams impressed at Athletic Club, scoring 11 goals and providing seven assists in 45 matches across all competitions. Barcelona are now aiming to add his flair to their attacking options.
