One More Obstacle Cleared for Barcelona in Pursuit of Nico Williams

Barcelona is determined to sign Nico Williams, making his arrival a top priority for the club’s sporting department. They have reportedly secured the funds to pay his release clause from Athletic Club, but are still awaiting a response from the 21-year-old regarding the contract proposal sent to his agent.

Although Barcelona is in the strongest position to sign Williams, other clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool, and Aston Villa have shown interest in recent weeks. However, according to Football Insider, Aston Villa is effectively out of the race due to the strong competition from top clubs.

This development is positive news for Barcelona, reducing the number of rivals for Williams’ signature. The club aims to finalize an agreement within the next week, pending the resolution of personal terms.
