Barcelona officials have monitored a number of available alternatives in light of the difficulty of contracting with Athletic Bilbao star Nico Williams during the summer transfer period
According to the Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona will not completely close the door on the possibility of contracting with Williams, but will look for other options to strengthen the left wing position at the same time.
The Spanish newspaper said that Barcelona will not spend more than the amount allocated to contract with Nico Williams, which is about 62 million euros.
The Spanish newspaper confirmed that Colombian Luis Diaz, Liverpool winger, has returned to Barcelona’s list of targets despite his contract with Liverpool that extends until the summer of 2027.
The Spanish newspaper indicated that French Kingsley Coman, Bayern Munich star, has entered Barcelona’s circle of interest in recent days after previously playing under the leadership of coach Hans Flick.
The Spanish newspaper explained that Barcelona was not satisfied with this duo, but also set its sights on Portuguese Rafael Leao, the 25-year-old Milan star.
The Spanish newspaper added that Barcelona does not want to waste its time waiting for Williams’ response, so it will try to look into all possible alternatives in case the deal fails. It is noteworthy that Nico Williams appeared in the past hours wearing the number 10 shirt for Athletic Bilbao after he had worn the number 11, indicating that he will continue with the Basque club next season.
