Barcelona and Nico Williams have reached a full agreement on personal terms, marking a significant step in the club’s push to bring the highly-rated winger to Camp Nou this summer.
Sources close to the negotiations confirm that Williams has agreed to a six-year contract, which will keep him at the club until June 2031. The deal will see the 21-year-old earn a net salary in the region of €7 to €8 million per season.
Williams, currently with Athletic Club, has been on Barcelona’s radar for months following his impressive performances in La Liga and with the Spanish national team. His speed, creativity, and flair on the wing make him a perfect fit for the Blaugrana’s long-term vision.
While the agreement on personal terms is now sealed, Barcelona must still finalize negotiations with Athletic Club. The Basque side have been firm on their stance, with Williams’ release clause reportedly set at €58 million.
Barça are currently exploring the best financial strategy to activate or negotiate the release clause, mindful of their ongoing financial fair play constraints.
With Euro 2024 underway and Williams shining on the international stage, Barcelona are eager to complete the deal quickly, as other top European clubs continue to monitor the situation.
