Nico Williams is heading for Barcelona in what looks to be one of the biggest deals of the summer.
The 22-year-old winger from Athletic Club is expected to sign a six-year contract, choosing the La Liga champions over offers from Arsenal and Bayern Munich.
French outlet Foot Mercato revealed that Williams and Barcelona have reached a preliminary agreement. If the deal is finalized, the Spanish-Ghanaian winger will earn around €12 million annually. The only hurdle left is for Barcelona to settle terms with Athletic Club, who have Williams under contract until 2027.
The young star’s reported buy-out clause stands at €60 million, and Barcelona appear ready to trigger it to secure one of Spain’s most exciting attacking prospects.
Williams has been a long-time target for the Catalan club, and his decision to stay in La Liga comes as a major boost ahead of the new season. His pace, creativity, and growing reputation make him a valuable addition as Barcelona looks to build for the future.
