Any day now, it’s expected that Nico Williams will announce where he will be playing his football during the 2024-25 season. Barcelona have been pushing hard to secure his services, but the lack of movement in recent days has led to doubts that they will be able to sign the 22-year-old from Athletic Club.
However, this feeling is not shared by the club’s president, Joan Laporta. As reported by Sport, Laporta believes that the operation to sign Williams will come to fruition, and he is confident of this becoming a reality.
Barcelona believe that they have done everything possible to convince Williams to join with immediate effect. Their financial situation has been explained in detail to his agent, as they aim to dispel any possible doubts that the Euro 2024 winner could have about not being registered with La Liga.
Barcelona are aware that officials at Athletic have pushed hard in recent days to convince Williams to remain at San Mames for one more season. Despite this, they remain quietly confident of getting their man.
