The 21-year-old is seen as a way to excite the fanbase and respond to Real Madrid's signing of Mbappe, and is also part of his plan to build a project around Lamine Yamal, keeping him happy in the process Barcelona will try to get the deal done before Williams returns to pre-season with Athletic in early August.
No doubt many Barcelona fans will be wary of such optimism, given the optimism of previous transfer markets has not always gone as planned. Williams would certainly be a hit, although it has been reported in recent days that some at the club believe it Dani Olmo would be a better addition.
