Nico Williams was heavily linked with a move to Barcelona last summer
The President of FC Barcelona, Joan Laporta, has disclosed that the club is no longer considering a move to sign Spain forward of Ghanaian descent Nico Williams.
According to him, although the La Liga champions were interested in signing the younger brother of Iñaki Williams last summer, they have moved on and are exploring other options in the market.
“We valued Nico as a potential signing last summer with Dani Olmo, but right now I think the club is valuing other players,” Joan Laporta said, as quoted by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Laporta added, “There will be changes in our squad this summer.
“Our rivals will also strengthen because they have seen that our team is the best right now.”
Nico Williams was heavily linked with a move to Barcelona last summer after an outstanding campaign for Athletic Club and the Spain national team.
The talented youngster decided to stay at Athletic Club and signed a contract extension.
Although Barcelona are no longer interested in signing Williams, he is a transfer target for English Premier League side Arsenal.
