Rumors linked Barcelona with several star forwards last summer, but Nico Williams was particularly fond of him.
Following the 22-year-old’s euphoric exploits at the Euros, Barcelona were hot on his heels, believing him to be an ideal candidate for the left-wing position.
In the end, the fragile financial situation and the preference for Dani Olmo meant that the measure did not materialize.
Even so, the possibility that president Joan Laporta dresses Nico Williams with the blaugrana The colors are still not entirely far away.
The saga is not over yet.
In fact, according to SPORT Nico Williams has expressed a strong desire to join Barcelona, making it clear that a move to the Catalan giant is his preferred next step.
Meanwhile, Barcelona have identified the need to strengthen their attacking options on the flanks and have placed Williams at the top of their priority list.
Given Lamine Yamal’s tender age and Raphinha being the only left winger in the squad, Barcelona are eager to finalize the signing, considering him a perfect long-term asset for the team.

The Basque winger would solve Barcelona’s lack of a natural dribbler, providing a much-needed creative spark in the final third.
Furthermore, his arrival would reinforce the team’s depth, a critical factor for teams looking to compete on all fronts and fight for multiple trophies throughout the season.
After all, Yamal’s injury forced Barcelona to make significant adjustments to their system against Atlético Madrid, with Fermín López unexpectedly deployed in a wide role to fill the void.
While Williams hasn’t set the world on fire this season, with just seven goals and assists so far, his profile would be welcome in Barcelona.
Barcelona are also expected to make big moves next summer considering it will be Laporta’s last summer transfer window before the presidential election, paving the way for a potential signing.
