Rumors regarding Nico Williams have been twirling around the Catalan club for quite a while now, and as days pass, Barca moves closer to signing the Basque winger. Ever since the winger had announced that Barca is his topmost priority and that he would wait for Barca if required, it was sure that the Catalan club would try their best to pursue him.
Moreover, Joan Laporta's optimism regarding Williams' move grew stronger when he announced,

Barca moves closer to signing Nico Williams
Being a favorite of both the manager, Hansi Flick, and the President, Joan Laporta, Williams always stood first in the possibility of a Barca move. Moreover, being familiar with the style of play La Liga allows and having great duality with the Barca sensation Lamine Yamal, the winger's move has the support of the Barcelona board.
Recent reports from Mundo Deportivo suggest that Hansi Flick has approved the signing of Nico Williams. On top of that, Nico's willingness to join Barca has favored the situation, and the Catalan club will make a move for the winger and offer him a 5-year- contract.
Understandably, the signing of Nico Williams would be the biggest move by FC Barcelona in the 2024/25 summer transfer window. Thus, Barca hopes that Nico would turn out to be the missing piece the team had been looking for left-wing, helping the club to win trophies.
Pedro expresses his opinion on Nico Williams
Regarding the same, former Barcelona star Pedro has given his opinion. The Spaniard feels that Nico would prove to be a great signing, he said,
"“If I were the sporting director of Barça I would definitely sign Nico Williams.""
- Pedro
Nico's brilliance alongside Lamine Yamal, who has been taking down opponents for fun, will be crucial for the future of FC Barcelona. Pedro spoke on Lamine's excellence at such a young age, he said,
""When I was 16, I was just starting to play in lower divisions. What Lamine Yamal is doing at the moment is just incredible.""
- Pedro
Thus, Barca hopes to reunite the Spanish duo of Yamal and Williams, as they seem more than enough to bolster the opposition backline any day. Though the official announcement is left, Barca's interest in Williams' deal ensures that he will feature in Barca colors in the upcoming season.
