“I like Nico, a lot. I can say that financially we can make it happen. It’s result of work that has been done over all these years to reach this point. We could, of course, face a signing of this level," said Joan Laporta on a potential attempt to sign Nico Williams.

Nico Williams is just 21 years of age and alongside Barcelona's 16-year old teenage sensation Lamine Yamal he has caused fireworks for Spain at Euro 2024. A potential Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal partnership at Barcelona would be a mouth watering prospect for the Catalan side. 

Nico Williams penned a new deal with Athletic Bilbao at the end of last year. Hence any attempt to sign the winger will cost Barcelona around 58 Million Euros based on his reported release clause.
