According to journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, Barcelona have reached an agreement in principle with Athletic Club for the transfer of Nico Williams. The two clubs are set to sign a 5+1 contract.
Nico Williams, 22, and 17-year-old Lamine Yamal shone at this year’s European Championships, becoming indispensable parts of Spain’s victory. The two Spanish wingers could be reunited at Barcelona next season.
Previously, it was reported that Nico Williams’ contract contained a €58 million release clause, and Athletic Club were unwilling to budge on the transfer fee. While journalist Gianluca Di Marzio reports that “Barcelona have reached an agreement in principle with Athletic Club”, the transfer fee has not been disclosed.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said that Nico Williams is Barcelona’s top priority in this summer’s transfer window, and they will not start any other signings until they get a final answer from Athletic Club. According to Mundo Deportivo, Paris Saint-Germain, who have missed out on Kylian Mbappé, are also interested in Nico Williams, and they have offered the Spanish winger twice the salary offered by Barcelona.
