Nico Williams is very close to taking a big step in his career and signing for FC Barcelona. This week, his agent met with Deco, the club's sports director, to discuss the possibility of the young winger joining the Blaugrana team. The talks seem to be progressing well, and everything indicates that the transfer could be finalized soon.

Athletic Club are reportedly unwilling to negotiate with Barcelona over a potential transfer of Nico Williams, insisting they pay the winger's release clause.
