Barcelona have reached a personal agreement with winger Nico Williams on a six-year contract, with the deal set to expire in June 2031. The player’s annual salary is reportedly in the region of €7-8 million net. Williams, who plays as a winger, has previously played for Athletic Bilbao, his current club. According to the latest developments, Barça are now working on finalising the financial aspects of the transfer with Athletic.
The transfer saga has seen other clubs, including Bayern Munich, show interest in signing Williams, as reported on June 12. However, it appears that Barcelona have emerged as the likely destination for the winger. Earlier this month, on June 16, it was reported that Barcelona activated an option to sign Williams, with talks ongoing on June 18. La Liga President had previously commented on Barcelona’s failed bid for Williams in September 2024, indicating a prolonged interest in the player. With the personal terms agreed upon, the transfer now hinges on the financial negotiations between Barça and Athletic.
