Barcelona send request to Nico Williams over 2025 transfer | OneFootball

The powers that be at La Liga giants Barcelona have made clear to Athletic Club star Nico Williams that he will need to do his part, to secure a transfer to the club next summer.

That’s according to Diario Sport, who have on Tuesday provided an insight into the latest developments behind the scenes in Catalunya’s capital.

The name of wide-man Williams, of course, took its place front and centre in the media headlines throughout the summer transfer window.

This came with the 22-year-old’s continued excellence for club and country alike having sparked widespread interest in his signature.

Barcelona, for one, pushed hard to bring Nico in for much of the summer, eager to unite the Spanish international with close friend Lamine Yamal.

In the end, the talented attacker opted to stay put, rewarded for his commitment with Athletic Club’s no.10 jersey.

As alluded to above, though, if the latest word stemming from the media is anything to go by, then the Blaugrana’s pursuit has not yet come to an end.

In fact, far from it.

As per a report from Sport:

‘Barça are still interested in the player. They believe that he is the ideal signing. Because of his characteristics and because his friendship with some heavyweights in the dressing room would make his arrival very easy.’

Nico himself, though, will need to do his part.

This comes amid further confirmation that Deco and co. will not sanction a fresh assault for his services next summer, unless the Spanish international makes his intention to depart Bilbao known.
