Spanish-born Ghanaian winger Nico Williams, who dazzled at the recent European Championship, is poised to join FC Barcelona.
The 21-year-old, a standout for the tournament-winning Spanish team, is expected to make a high-profile move from Athletic Bilbao.
Williams, a product of Bilbao’s youth academy, had long been overshadowed by his older brother Inaki, a key figure at the Basque club. However, Nico’s exceptional performances at both the club and international levels have established him as a critical player for Athletic Bilbao and an emerging star for Spain.
Choosing to represent Spain, unlike his brother who plays for Ghana, Nico scored in the final and was instrumental in Spain’s European Championship victory. His technical prowess and dynamic play have caught the attention of top European clubs, with FC Barcelona leading the race for his signature.
Despite Barcelona’s financial challenges, the club is determined to secure Williams. According to Marca, the winger has already communicated his decision to close associates, and an official announcement is anticipated within the next two weeks.
