Barcelona Secures Personal Terms with Chelsea’s PSG Transfer Target, Report Says

Athletic Club’s Nico Williams has sparked interest from several top European clubs, especially after his standout performance at UEFA Euro 2024. Nonetheless, it seems Barcelona have the inside track to landing the player.

According to a recent report from CaughtOffside, Williams has caught the attention of several top clubs, including Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham, Barcelona, and PSG.

Moreover, a move for Williams is not anticipated to be a simple or cheap deal to get done, and that’s caused uncertainty among some parties. The 21-year-old played 37 matches across all competitions last season for Athletic Club, scoring nine goals and registering 19 assists.

Still, the Catalan side have edged out all these clubs as SPORT reports that Barcelona reportedly has an agreement with Williams over personal terms. The club must now activate his €58 million release clause.

Barcelona club president Joan Laporta spoke about the possibility of landing Williams this summer and made positive remarks, which gives his supporters hope that they can win the race to land the winger.

“I like Nico, a lot,” Laporta told Catalunya Radio. “I can say that financially, we can make it happen. It’s the result of work that has been done over all these years to reach this point. We could, of course, face a signing of this level.”
