Bayern Munich making a desperate final push to sign 22-year-old Barcelona target | OneFootball

After having officially signed the goalkeeper Joan Garcia, FC Barcelona are now looking to strengthen their forward line in the upcoming summer transfer window.

For this purpose, the Blaugranes were linked with several prominent attackers in recent weeks, but lately, the Athletic Club winger Nico Williams has been the one most closely linked with them. In fact, some reliable reports indicate that the Spaniard has already signed a personal agreement with the Catalan club.

For now, Barcelona are negotiating with Athletic Club to get some easier payment facilities, but even if there is no agreement with the Basque club, the Blaugranes can sign the forward by paying his €58 million release clause.

Although they are looking to be Nico’s most likely destination, Barcelona were not the only one interested in signing him. Another suitor who has been trying to get the Spanish winger into its team has been the Bundesliga giants, Bayern Munich.

Some reports indicated that Nico has already communicated his final rejection to the Bundesliga side. However, Mundo Deportivo now reports that Bayern are still not out of the race, and are making one last desperate attempt to snatch the winger from the Catalans’ hands.

For this purpose, their Sporting Director, Max Eberl, has left the USA, where the Munich team is currently present for the FIFA Club World Cup, to return to Germany. There, he will meet with Uli Hoeness, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, and some other members of the board of directors.

The Bavarians want to remain in contention for the winger

This meeting is aimed to make progress on signings for the upcoming summer, and one of their activities would be to present a new and improved offer for the Spanish star. The purpose of this new approach would be to show the winger of their preference for him, and present themselves as another possible destination if his move to Barcelona does not materialize.

However, the Blaugranes have already made it known that the payment of the winger’s release clause is not going to be a problem for them, and it looks highly likely that they will finally land Nico Williams this summer.
