Despite the fact that Nico Williams has returned to Athletic Club ahead of the new season kicking off next week, Barcelona have not given up hope of convincing him to sign. Joan Laporta is now leading the charge, and he is prepared to go all-out to ensure that the Euro 2024 winner ends up in Catalonia.
This development has been met with a relaxed stance from those in Bilbao. As per Sport, Athletic officials are relaxed about the situation, and they remain convinced that Williams will remain in Ernesto Valverde’s squad for the 2024-25 season.
Now that Barcelona are back within their salary limit, there could be an increased chance for them to convince Williams to join. However, the fact that he has now returned to training with Los Leones is a bad indication for those at Can Barca.
Many thought the saga would be over at the start of the week when Williams made his return to Athletic Club, but Barcelona are not letting go – despite already agreeing a deal for Dani Olmo. Their disappointment will be immeasurable if they don’t get their man.
