Barcelona want to sign Nico Williams this summer, but the deal is seemingly tricky at the moment.

Barcelona’s interest in the Athletic Bilbao star is genuine, but Bilbao are trying to hold onto their prized asset.

Nico Williams’ stock rose up after an extraordinary performance for Spain at Euro 2024.

According to Cadena SER, Barcelona have sent a message to Nico Williams telling him they won’t try to sign him again if he doesn’t join them this summer.

Williams has been reportedly that Barcelona will only attempt to sign him once, with this summer being his only chance to join Barca.

Following Athletic’s attempt to hold onto Williams, Barcelona are worried that Williams is beginning to have doubts about moving to Barca.

The 21-year-old has had a delay in making a final decision on his future, following pressure from Bilbao.

Barcelona are currently working on a deal to sign Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig. Olmo was also part of the Spain squad that won the Euros.
