According to a recent report from Mundo Deportivo, FC Barcelona is concerned about competition from Paris Saint-Germain in the pursuit of Athletic Club’s Nico Williams. Williams’ profile has risen significantly, especially following his key role in Spain’s UEFA Euro 2024 victory. Last month, CaughtOffside reported that Williams is attracting interest from several major clubs
. Juanmartí indicates that Williams is close to making a decision about his future, with three options on the table: joining Barcelona, moving to PSG, or remaining at Athletic Club. Barcelona’s opinions are divided; while some remain hopeful, many are worried that PSG’s strong interest might make it extremely difficult for Barcelona to secure Williams.
Meanwhile, Romano reports that Barcelona continues to prioritize Williams above all other potential signings. They will only consider pursuing additional players once they have his final decision. Although there have been discussions about Dani Olmo, no progress will be made on that front until the Williams situation is settled.
