🚨 Barcelona Tell Nico Williams: Now or Never
Barcelona’s eye is on Athletic Club winger Nico Williams, but he seems unsure about moving to Catalonia this season. At 22, Williams is leaning towards staying another year at Athletic.
Reports say that Williams prefers to wait a year before leaving Bilbao. Sporting Director Deco, who stayed behind while Barcelona heads to the USA for preseason, is working hard to convince Williams that now’s the time to join the Blaugrana. Deco, a Brazilian-Portuguese, told Williams the train’s passing him by and they won’t wait another year, especially since they tried negotiating with him before his last contract extension. This info from Cadena SER also highlights Barcelona’s renewed interest in Dani Olmo, as they reopened talks with his agent over the weekend.
Williams promised his brother Inaki that he’d play at least one season in Europe with him before leaving. He holds a lot of affection for Athletic. Working with Ernesto Valverde has helped Williams evolve from an exciting winger to an effective forward in the final third, and he might want to continue his development there.
