Nico Williams dominated the transfer stories throughout the summer, and although Barcelona had been very confident of sealing his signature at one stage, he ended up staying at the Athletic Club for at least one more season. However, his determination is bound to be tested again in 2025.
Barcelona still have Williams as an option for next summer, although he is no longer a leading candidate. This will allow other clubs to step in – many in the Premier League are enthusiastic, while it has been reported in France (via ED) that Paris Saint-Germain are “determined” to sign the 22-year-old.
PSG have struggled this season, especially in the Champions League. Luis Enrique is not happy with his attacking options, which is why a move for Williams has been considered. At this stage, the champions of France would have no problem paying theirs Athletic Club release clause, which is 60 million euros. However, convincing the player will be much more difficult.
