Developments continue regarding the future of Nico Williams, the winger of Athletic Bilbao, amid renewed interest from Barcelona to sign him during the summer transfer window, as part of the club's plan to strengthen its squad under coach Hans Flick.

Barcelona had attempted to sign Williams after the conclusion of the last European Championship, but the deal faltered at that time due to the financial crisis of the Catalan club. With the situation improving, the name of the young Spanish star has returned to the interests of the Blaugrana again this summer.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Nico Williams and his agent have informed Athletic Bilbao's management of the player's desire to move to Barcelona, and the terms of the contract between the Spanish player and the Catalan club have already been agreed upon until the summer of 2031.

Only an agreement between Barcelona and Bilbao remains, with the latter insisting on receiving the full buyout clause amounting to 58 million euros, without installment payments.

Reports indicate that the Catalan club may move at the beginning of July to pay the buyout clause and officially complete the deal.
