Barcelona have discovered their own in-house alternative to Nico Williams in 18-year-old Dani Rodríguez

Barcelona’s quest for a successor to Nico Williams has led them to uncover their own in-house talent, 18-year-old Dani Rodríguez, as highlighted by SPORT. With prospects of signing the Athletic Club star appearing slim, Barça has turned its attention to nurturing the skills of Rodríguez.

Recruiting Rodríguez from Real Sociedad presented a challenge due to his ties to the Basque region, known for the strong loyalty Basque players often hold for their home clubs. Despite this, Barcelona succeeded in securing his services.

Under the guidance of Rafa Marquez, Rodríguez enjoyed an impressive season and further showcased his abilities in the Under-19 European Championship, contributing to Spain’s championship victory. His stellar performance in the tournament has firmly established him as one of the nation’s most promising talents.

After his post-Euro break, Rodríguez may have the opportunity to showcase his talents under the mentorship of Hansi Flick.
