Barcelona are calm about their pursuit of the €67m winger amid interest from Bayern and Man United

Barcelona already appear to have prioritized signing a new left-back as their top target next summer and have already been linked with several promising names across Europe.

However, it is not surprising that the discussion begins with a certain Nico Williams, who was the club’s first choice to reinforce the department last summer.

After giving positive signs for months, the Basque star finally stayed at Athletic Club and did not end up at Barcelona because he preferred to stay one more year at his childhood club.

His decision, however, did not go down well with Barcelona, ​​with many reports suggesting that the club may not push for him again.

Not out of race

As already reported by SPORT, Barcelona continues to monitor Nico and does not rule out the option of signing him next summer, especially considering that the player is more open to an exit this time.

However, his name is far from being the first option, since the Catalans remain attentive to all other possible options and their financial situation.

Barcelona are aware of the growing interest in the Spaniard but are calm in their pursuit and have not yet made any decision on their stance.

However, they do know that moving to Catalonia is a priority and that resolving the financial situation is the most important thing at this time.

The management admires the young winger for his quality, pace, skill, ease of adaptation given his Spanish roots and the fact that he will be available for a fixed price of €67 million next summer.

However, they first want Williams to clarify his future and make it clear that he intends to leave before investing time or money in pursuing him.

Bayern Munich and PSG are also very interested in signing Nico, while the report also mentions Manchester United as a suitor. At the same time, Real Madrid has also appeared as a potential candidate.

For Barcelona, ​​Rafael Leao, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Marcus Rashford are also great options. A final decision could be made after February.
