Williams is having another excellent season with Athletic Club, and added two more assists to his tally during the 2-0 victory over Getafe on Friday.

He would cost €50m, as that is the cost of his contract’s release clause.

🚨 EXCL: Dani Olmo is someone Xavi likes.

The player would also be ‘crazy’ over a potential comeback to Barcelona – but the club prioritizes Nico Williams more.

There’s no doubt that Williams would be a sensational signing for Barcelona, and at 21, he would be the ideal option for the short and long term.
