The Nico Williams file warmly warmed up on the side of FC Barcelona.
According to Sports Worldit was at the initiative of the player himself that his agent met Deco, the sports director of the Catalan club last week. A strong gesture, which Joan Laporta was waiting to relaunch a track which he had closed after the player's refusal last summer.
At the time, the president of Barça had not digested the choice of Nico to stay in Bilbao, despite the interest of the Culé club. But in recent weeks, the wind has turned. The Spanish winger now wishes to join the Blaugranas, which Laporta already knew through several locals from the wardrobe. However, he expected concrete evidence, which he now received.
An advance that clearly repositions Barça in mind on this file, especially since the Williams track has advantages. Unlike Luis Diaz, another club target, Nico could be recruited without negotiations thanks to his release clause set at 58 million euros. Younger than the Colombian, he is also very close to some Catalan players, notably Lamine Yamal. What seriously revive the hope of finally seeing him sign in Catalonia, despite competition from Bayern Munich and Arsenal.
