Nico Williams, a winger for Athletic Bilbao, is being pursued by both Chelsea and Barcelona following his stellar performances at Euro 2024.
However, it appears that Barcelona is the team that is waiting to sign Nico Williams among Chelsea and other teams.
Barcelona appears to be in a strong position to get Williams this summer, but Chelsea’s interest in him has scared them away.
Along with Lamine Yamal, the 22-year-old would assist Spain in winning the European Championship.
Fabrizio Romano provides an update on Nico Williams in light of interest from Chelsea and Barcelona.
Williams’s future appears to be up for decision soon. Williams and Marc Cucurella teamed up at the Euros this summer, and the Chelsea defender may not get his desire.
Barcelona seems to be making a major effort to sign the Athletic Bilbao player. Romano recently stated on X that on Wednesday, he and Barcelona director Deco had a meeting with Romano’s agent.
The transfer expert stated, “The agent met with Barcelona director Deco today [yesterday].” “There was a face-to-face meeting in Zaragoza.”
It will be intriguing to watch if Chelsea follows up Barcelona’s new ploy by making a move for Williams.
Nico Williams plays where?
Williams’ optimal position during Euro 2024 was on the left, where he played. The Spain international, who scored against England in the final, was extremely dangerous there.
Williams played in six games in Germany, scoring two goals and providing one assist. Luis de la Fuente’s skill with the ball was demonstrated by the fact that, according to WhoScored, only one other player on his team averaged more dribbles per game than him.
If Chelsea can get him this summer, he could be a great asset to Enzo Maresca. But as of right moment, it appears that Barcelona will most likely prevail in the competition for his signature.
Chelsea does have access to other left wingers, though. It had previously been stated that Desire Doue was favored by Chelsea. But Williams is the winger that fans will desire after his performances at Euro 2024.
