'Sport': Nico Williams would love to play at Barca

At just 21 years of age, Nico Williams has become one of the main players for Athletic and the Spanish national team ahead of this summer's European Championship. This has led more clubs to take notice of him even though he renewed his contract with the San Mames outfit until 2027 in December, especially one of them, Barcelona.

'Sport', which has already reported in the past that the winger was on the agenda of the Catalan giants, assures that this has not changed. The 'cule' club are aware that his termination clause is around 50 million euros-Chelsea are considering paying it - and would agree to it if they were in a more favourable budgetary situation.

An important aspect mentioned by the Catalan newspaper is that the player would love to join Xavi Hernandez's team, which keeps the door open to his transfer in the future. The newspaper maintains that there have been recurring contacts with his agents for a long time and this has not changed at any time. Moreover, in 'la Roja', he is making good friends with players like Pau Cubarsi and Lamine Yamal, with whom he was in the training camp this month.

Nico Williams' potential performances at the European Championships in Germany will undoubtedly provide plenty to talk about in the summer transfer window. If he works and rises as one of the key players in Luis de la Fuente's attack, it should come as no surprise to the reader that his name is on the front pages of the British tabloids talking about the Premier League. From Catalonia, the dynamic will be similar.
