PSG has managed to become the champion of Ligue 1 with several matches to spare, dominating the competition with authority. Moreover, in Europe, they are leaving an authoritative impression and, after defeating Aston Villa 3-1 in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, the French are practically in the semi-finals.
One of the keys to success is in the forward line. The offensive trio formed by Dembélé, Barcola, and Kvaratskhelia is working wonderfully, and they are joined by Désiré Doué, who brings a lot of verticality and freshness from the bench. The rotation among these four has given PSG a depth that allows them to maintain a very high physical and technical level in every match.
PSG Sets Sights on a Barça Target
However, despite having four players for three positions, PSG is not satisfied. According to 'El Nacional', the Parisian club is already working on strengthening their forward line for the next season. That's why the sports management is scouring the market in search of new additions that will further elevate the team's level.
The target is clear: they want to sign a player who also interests Barça. He is one of the most promising wingers in soccer, who has been shining for some time and has already caught the attention of major clubs. PSG is determined to compete for him.
Al-Khelaifi's Target for PSG
That player is Nico Williams. The Athletic winger is having a decent season, but he is one of the most unbalancing footballers in the championship. His ability to take on opponents, his speed, and his vision of the game make him a standout player in any offensive scheme.
Moreover, his youth and room for improvement make him even more attractive for medium and long-term projects like those of PSG and Barça. Luis Enrique knows him well and values him both for his technical profile and his tactical discipline, something the Asturian coach prioritizes. PSG's interest is real and could materialize in an offer, which will force Barça to make a move if they don't want to lose one of their major targets.
He Is Barça's Major Target
Nico Williams is a priority and there is a key factor that plays in Barça's favor: Nico is very good friends with Lamine Yamal, with whom he shares a locker room in the Spanish national team. That good relationship could be decisive in convincing him to wear the blaugrana jersey.
Barça sees Nico as a market opportunity they don't want to miss, and they are willing to make an effort to ensure he ends up in Barcelona and not in Paris.
