Barcelona President Joan Laporta revealed the club’s position on signing Athletic Bilbao winger Neco Williams during this summer’s transfer market.

Laporta said: “Do you like it?” Nico?  Of course I like it very much but we have to leave this matter to the officials. Deco is working on the contracts that were discussed with Hansi Flick, and I hope there will be new news."

He added: “Barcelona has regained this qualitative weight that it had in the world of football, and this makes the players, every time Barcelona cares, you see them excited, right? In this context, I also hope that I will be able to provide good news soon.”

He continued: “Is Barcelona financially able to include Williams? Yes, and as I told you, this is it "It's a result of the work that's been done over all these years to get to this point, and we can certainly be able to do deals like this."
