Nico Williams was the best player of Euro 2024. In the entire tournament he kept on producing one after another master-class performances.
Why do Barcelona want Nico Williams?
The Spanish international is a rising star of La Liga. In this season, Nico Williams has been the bright spot for Athletic Bilbao. He has been instrumental for both Spain and Athletic Bilbao.
In Euro 2024 he has scored two goals and provided one assist. In a tournament like Euro where every team perform well, scoring two goals is a big thing.
At this moment, Barcelona lack finishing ability at the up front. Nico Williams can certainly become their solution. We have seen how Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams have combined in Euro 2024. Their partnership has terrified the opponent players.
Barcelona want this duo to perform at Camp Nou. Both of them will create havoc against other clubs. On top of that he is effective on left wing. The Athletic Bilbao wonderkid can create goal scoring opportunities on his own.
Nico Williams is a left winger who loves to dribble past his opponent with his shearing pace. On top of that he prefers to link up with his team mates and score goals from half chances. This is what Barcelona need. At this moment, Barcelona need a left winger like him.
Possibility of the transfer
According to Sky Sports Nico Williams has a price tag of £53m and Athletic Bilbao are not ready to sell him. In this season, he has attracted multiple clubs. It is being said that Chelsea are also interested in the player.
The Barcelona transfer makes sense for the Spaniard. If he joins the Catalan side, he will get the chance to play along Lamine Yamal and this combination will improve his performance.
If the young Spaniard joins Barcelona, he will play in the left wing. Lamine Yamal will accompany him from the right wing and Robert Lewandoski will play from the middle.
It seems that the German coach Hansi Flick will get the best out of this Barcelona squad. We have seen how Flick turned Bayern into a dangerous team. Especially Robert Lewandowski was the main player in that team.
Future of Barcelona
Nico Williams has showed his talent to the entire world. If Barcelona can pull of this signing, it will certainly be masterstroke for them.
Every team need a player like Williams. Multiple reports were suggesting that Spanish left back Marc Cucurella also insisted Williams to join him at Chelsea.
At this moment, both Chelsea and Barcelona are in a transition period. Both of them are taking shape under new managers. In this transition period, they need good attackers. So, it will be interesting to see where Nico Williams end up.
