The threat complicating the possible signing of Nico Williams by Barça

After a summer in which he was the center of attention, Nico Williams is set to be one of the major protagonists of the 2025 transfer market. The winger decided to continue under the orders of Ernesto Valverde at the Athletic Club de Bilbao with the aim of playing in the Europa League final at San Mamés, but at the end of the season, his future could change.

The champion of Euro 2024 continues to be a target for the top clubs on the continent, and they are closely monitoring his situation. FC Barcelona remains part of the race for the player, although various factors would need to align for them to decide to pursue a player who 'turned down' an offer from the Catalan entity a couple of months ago.

The main candidate to secure Nico's services

This indecision from the Blaugrana wants to be exploited from Ligue 1, where Paris Saint-Germain is starting to bid strongly to get the upper hand. Luis Enrique is desperate to have a top-level star in his squad, and Williams is the chosen one by the Spanish coach, which is why the French are pushing to gain ground in the battle for the Navarrese's signing.

According to reports from France, the Parisians will spare no expense for Nico and would be willing to pay his release clause, valued at 58 million euros. In addition to Barça, clubs in the Premier League are also on the lookout for the forward, but from the Parc des Princes, they want to win the race with a financial advantage and are accelerating to reach an agreement with the player.
