Spanish-born forward of Ghanaian descent, Nico Williams, is reportedly open to a high-profile move to FC Barcelona this summer, as interest in the talented attacker continues to rise.
Williams, whose parents hail from Ghana, has been on the radar of top European clubs thanks to his explosive pace, creativity, and consistent performances for Athletic Club.
While he represents Spain internationally, his Ghanaian roots have made him a player of interest for Ghanaian football fans worldwide.
Last summer, FC Barcelona tried to secure his services but the 21-year-old opted to remain with Athletic Club, even signing a contract extension.
However, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, fresh talks have taken place between Barcelona officials and Williams’ representatives, with the player now more open than ever to a move.
Despite Nico’s willingness, Barcelona must still reach an agreement with Athletic Club, who view him as a key asset and will not sanction a sale unless a significant offer is tabled.
Bayern Munich have also shown interest, but sources suggest the forward prefers to continue his career in Spain; further boosting Barcelona’s hopes of landing the Ghanaian star.
