Barcelona have reportedly made it clear to Athletic Club winger Nico Williams that he must take the initiative if he hopes to secure a move to the Catalan giants next summer.
According to Diario Sport, the latest updates from Barcelona reveal the club’s ongoing interest in the 22-year-old, whose impressive performances for both club and country have kept him on their radar.
Williams was a key target for Barcelona during the last transfer window, with the Blaugrana eager to pair him with his close friend, Lamine Yamal.
However, the Spanish international chose to remain at Athletic Club, where he was rewarded with the prestigious no.10 shirt.
Despite his decision to stay, Barcelona’s pursuit is far from over. The club views Williams as a perfect addition, both for his qualities on the pitch and his rapport with key dressing room figures. Still, any move hinges on Williams signaling his desire to leave Bilbao.
