FC Barcelona of Spain is in search of a star signing, and the club are convinced that their effort to sign a winger from Athletic Club will be successful, who will soon say “yes, I do” in the next few hours to become a Barça player and teammate of Lamine Yamal.
According to Sports 45, it is expected that in the coming days there will be a new contact between Deco, Barça’s sporting director, and Felix Tainta, the player’s agent. This contact could be crucial to close the deal and for Nico Williams to become a new Barça player. The club is confident that this next contact will be the definitive one.
FC Barcelona have everything ready to pay the clause and register the player, but only the definitive green light from the winger is missing. Optimism is high and only the definitive confirmation of the player is missing for him to become a new Barça player.
