Barcelona is reportedly considering the sale of two of its senior players to finance a high-profile transfer for Nico Williams, a star from Athletic Bilbao and Spain. Williams has been one of the standout players for Spain in Euro 2024, showcasing his skills on the left wing by scoring a goal and providing an assist. He has formed a strong partnership with Barcelona’s right-winger, Lamine Yamal.

Nico Williams, the 21-year-old younger brother of Inaki Williams, has already made a name for himself at both the club and international levels. With a release clause of around £43 million, Barcelona needs to generate funds by selling players to manage their financial challenges.
According to the Spanish outlet Sport, Barcelona might sell defender Ronald Araujo, winger Raphinha, or possibly both to raise the necessary funds. Araujo, whose contract extends until 2026, has a release clause set at nearly £850 million. However, Barcelona would likely accept around £63.5 million for the 25-year-old defender, who has been reportedly negotiating with Manchester United.
Raphinha, 27, has completed two seasons at Barcelona, scoring double-digit goals in each season. Despite his contributions, the club sees Williams’ youth and potential as vital for their future plans, envisioning him and Yamal as a powerful attacking duo for years to come.
