Barcelona is eager to sign Nico Williams and has made acquiring him a primary goal for their sports management team. They reportedly have the necessary funds ready to meet his release clause from Athletic Club. However, they are still waiting for a response from the 21-year-old player regarding the contract offer that was sent to his agent.
In addition to Barcelona, other clubs such as Arsenal, Liverpool, and Aston Villa have also expressed interest in Williams in recent weeks. However, according to Football Insider, Aston Villa is no longer seriously competing for his signature due to the strong interest from more prominent clubs.
This situation benefits Barcelona by reducing the number of competitors in the race to sign Williams. The club hopes to finalize the agreement soon, with only personal terms left to be negotiated.
