Barca's transfer prospect clarifies his choice amidst transfer rumors

After an incredible Euro campaign, the whole Europe is in amaze of the brilliance of the young winger Nico Williams. Managing 3 goal contributions, including a goal in the final, the Basque winger was key in Spain's Euro triumph. While he was already a transfer prospect for many big clubs, this performance at Euros has made him a fan favourite.

From Premier League to La Liga, everyone wants to acquire the player's signature. While FC Barcelona leads the race for the winger, chances of a surprise move couldn't have been eliminated.

However, Nico Williams has finally opened upon his future club. Nico has expressed time and again, that he would love to play at Barcelona alongside his national teammates, and his current statement resonates with the same. According to recent reports, Nico Williams has told his agents to ignore all offers from clubs except Barcelona.

The jet heeled winger has laid down his priorities clearly, and is considering only two options: staying at Athletic Club or joining FC Barcelona. Though this statement doesn't surprise football analysts, it still feels a bit intriguing from a Barca fans perspective.

From submitting their proposal to getting the transfer fee ready, the Barcelona board has kept Nico's transfer on their topmost priority. And such a statement from the young Athletic star might hamper Barca's other transfer prospects. Eyeing the Spain star, Dani Olmo alongside possibilities like Mikel Merino to reinforce the midfield, Barca might lose on these stars amidst Nico's deal.

Not to forget, apart from the potential duo of Nico Williams and Lamine Yamal, the club needs some midfield options to cater till De Jong and Pedri return. Though further confirmations are still awaited on Nico's green signal, it is important that Barca complete his signing as soon as possible, to focus on other transfer targets.
