Paris Saint-Germain was among the clubs interested in Athletic Club’s standout player, Nico Williams. Despite the competition, one Barcelona player is hopeful that the Catalan club will secure his signature next year.
This summer, Williams attracted attention from top teams such as Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Barcelona, and PSG.
Following an impressive 2023-24 season with 37 appearances for Athletic Club and a key role in Spain’s UEFA Euro 2024 triumph, Williams’ performances have drawn interest from Europe’s elite clubs.
In an interview, Lamine Yamal expressed his desire for Barcelona to sign Williams if he becomes available next summer. “I’d love to play with Nico Williams every week! He’s a good friend of mine,” Yamal told El Hormiguero. “Whether he joins Barça next season depends on Nico’s decision.”
