Barcelona president tight-lipped on club’s pursuit of Euro 2024 breakout star | OneFootball

In a bid to save their blushes from last season, Barcelona are keen on fortifying their squad with new faces while also trimming down the roster to ensure there is no deadweight.

The Catalans’ transfer activity has been limited thus far because Barça still needs to finalize certain procedures to officially return to the 1:1 rule in La Liga.

However, that has not stopped them from evaluating potential signings and negotiating with other clubs.

And the futures of both Ansu Fati and Nico Williams have been a topic of great intrigue, considering Nico is labelled a priority target for the club and Fati could be shown the exit door after a difficult loan spell at Brighton & Hove Albion.

Joan Laporta evades questions regarding Fati and Williams

Recently, Barcelona president Joan Laporta was spotted taking pictures with a group of enthusiastic fans.

Amidst the photo session, he was barraged with questions about Nico Williams and Ansu Fati, given that the pair has been the focal point of speculation in the media as of late.

Opting to sidestep questions, Joan Laporta cheerfully continued taking pictures with fans, refusing to fuel the media’s desire for more speculation.

The president has been known to make some massive statements about potential signings to the press in the past, so his silence is bound to leave many wondering about his current stance.

Barcelona are in talks to sign Nico

Despite Laporta’s silence, it is apparent that Barcelona are working behind the scenes to ensure they manage to land their priority target Nico Williams this summer.

Meanwhile, the chances of Fati staying put have increased following the impressive results of his strength tests.

Only time will reveal whether both of them will be Barcelona players when the window closes. Given the unpredictable nature of the transfer window, fans should be prepared for anything.
