At Barca, the club are looking at the players Xavi will need for the 2024-25 season and, although until recently, Daniel Olmo was a priority, the club has changed its mind. The club will put the arrival of winger Nico Williams at the top of the list.
Xavi is clear: if he has to choose between Dani Olmo and Nico Williams, the choice must be the second one. A choice that has nothing to do with his talent but with what Barcelona needs for next season.
'Sport' explains that the coach is looking for an attacking player and that, in this sense, there is no player more complete than the Athletic player at the moment. The young winger has proved to be lethal and the coaching staff believe that he can bring a lot to the team. Moreover, Nico stands out for his power and speed, which would allow him to play as a '9' if necessary.
In addition to the technical characteristics of Nico Williams, we should add his price, which would be somewhat lower than that of Dani Olmo. The RB Leipzig player's clause is 60 million euros, while that of the La Liga player is 50 million euros.
The season is about to come to an end and in the offices, in the meantime, they are doing the maths for the next campaign. They are aware at Camp Nou that in order to be able to afford any kind of signing, it will be vital to sell. Otherwise, they can forget about Nico and Dani Olmo.
