The promising La Liga striker is said to be keen to join the Blaugrana

Barça has barely closed before Barça is already planning next summer and the profiles to strengthen the squad. If Xavi has Raphinha and Lamine Yamal, two right wings, under his command, the second pitch is much more deserted. The Catalan coach regularly deploys Gavi as a false left winger who settles into the game and leaves the pitch to Baldé. But the Barcelona management is looking for a pure edge profile, fast and technical. As announced on Thursday, this profile may be called Nico Williams.

The perfect counterpart to Yamal?

Revealed by Alfredo Martínez, Barça’s interest in Nico Williams materialized through contact with his agent, Félix Tainta. The 21-year-old winger meets all Catalan criteria, he will be at the end of his contract next summer. As explained Sport, Athletic Bilbao is already working to extend his nugget, but Barça has checked the name, which does not leave the Spanish national team player (10 caps) indifferent. If no agreement is reached with the Basque club, Williams will be free to discuss and negotiate with the Blaugrana on January 1, 2024. In Catalonia, young Nico would find friends from the national team such as Gavi, Baldé and the youngest, Lamine Yamal. Combined on the wings, the two eccentrics would add much more speed and verticality to the Catalan game. To be continued…

To summarize

If Xavi has Raphinha and Lamine Yamal, two right wings, under his command, the second pitch is much more deserted. As a result, Barcelona management checked the name of Nico Williams. When his contract expires next summer, the 21-year-old winger is not indifferent to Catalan interest.
