Barcelona chief provides Nico Williams transfer update | OneFootball

Barcelona sporting director Deco has this weekend provided an update on the club’s ongoing pursuit of Athletic Club star Nico Williams.

It is of course common knowledge across Spain at this point that wide-man Nico has made his way back onto the transfer agenda at Barcelona over the last week.

Following a meeting with the 22-year-old’s entourage, in fact, the Camp Nou brass have since gone as far as to reach an agreement on the terms of a contract with Nico.

During a media appearance on Saturday, it therefore came as little surprise when the subject of the Spanish international’s potential arrival was put to the aforementioned Deco.

And during an interview with La Vanguardia, as cited by transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, the Portuguese confirmed two key points.

First, that Nico himself wants to join, and 2nd that Barcelona are now actively pushing for his signature:

“Yes, Nico Williams wants to come… and we will try! Nico, same as other players, is showing a strong desire to come… and if the right conditions are met in his case, we’ll definitely try to complete the deal.”
