From the last update I read from Fabrizio Romano’s facebook page Barcelona are very much interested in signing Nico Williams this summer and the player has given priority to joining Barcelona, it was also said that both parties are progressing with talks so it is likely that Nico Williams will join Barcelona if all negotiations go well. Let’s see how the coming weeks will play out.
Yes the player had giving his reply to join Barcelona according to the sporting director DECO, last summer they couldn’t get Nico Williams because he signed a new contract and Athletic Bilbao put up a fee that was above Barcelona then so they allowed the deal to go away. That last season Barcelona were in a much more difficult situation than now. The club president had said earlier that they are a bit comfortable now on financial situations and can register the players they sign.
I think this deal will be completed if they find a way to offload Ansu Fati, I think the club do not still want to let Ansu Fati leave permanently but rather on loan as they see him as a potential with Deco saying he is only 23 years of age, so once he leaves to Monaco who are leading the race for his signature I think the Nico Williams deal will be completed
