Spanish-born Ghanaian winger Nico Williams, who recently made a name for himself at the European Championship, is set to make a big move to FC Barcelona.
The 21-year-old, who was a standout player for the tournament-winning Spanish team, is expected to leave Athletic Bilbao for the Catalan giants. A product of Bilbao’s youth academy, Williams has been in the shadow of his older brother Inaki, who is a key player at Athletic Bilbao. However, Nico’s exceptional performances both at club and international level have now positioned him as a vital player for Bilbao and a rising star for Spain.
Opting to represent Spain instead of Ghana, like his brother, Nico scored in the final and played a key role in Spain’s triumph at the European Championship. His technical ability and dynamic style of play have attracted the interest of top European clubs, with FC Barcelona leading the race to sign him.
Despite Barcelona facing financial difficulties, the club is keen on securing the talented winger. According to reports from Marca, Williams has already informed close contacts of his decision, and an official announcement of his move to Barcelona is expected in the coming weeks.
