Barcelona make move for €58m talent before Arsenal and Chelsea get involved

The race for Athletic Club’s Nico Williams is underway as Barcelona sporting director Deco has met with the winger’s agent Félix Tainta on Wednesday afternoon to try and progress the transfer of the Spain international.

The 22-year-old produced an incredible campaign in Germany this summer as Spain lifted the Euro 2024 title and that has attracted the attention of a lot of big European clubs.

Williams played in six matches at the Euros, scoring two goals and assisting a further one.
