According to Spanish media outlet Sport, Barcelona have reached an agreement in principle with Athletic Bilbao winger Nico Williams for a transfer, with the Spanish forward set to arrive at Camp Nou this summer.
The report states that 21-year-old Nico Williams has always been Barcelona’s main transfer target this summer. Last week, Barcelona officials met with Nico Williams’ agent and the negotiations ended positively. Although the specific contract length has not yet been finalized, both parties have reached an agreement in principle regarding the transfer.
Currently, there are two issues that Barcelona needs to address: firstly, how to pay Athletic Bilbao the €58 million release clause for Nico Williams; secondly, after the transfer is completed, whether they can balance the team’s salary accounts in order to register Williams in La Liga.
However, prior to this, Barcelona president Joan Laporta had publicly stated that the club had the capacity to sign Nico Williams this summer. If the transfer goes through, Spain’s two rising stars, Yamal and Williams, who shone brightly in this summer’s European Championship, will be reunited at Barcelona.
