Barça keeps exploring the market in search of a left winger for next season. In this regard, according to the newspaper Sport, Nico Williams has been ruled out as a possible signing. Although his profile fits perfectly with what Barça is looking for, the club has decided not to go for him this summer.
Despite the talent of the Spanish international and his steady progress with the Bilbao team, Barça has set other priority targets. The information published by the newspaper Sport closes the door to a player who, for months, was seen as one of the favorites to strengthen the culé attack.
nico's train has already passed for Barça
It should be remembered that Nico Williams was already a target for Barça last summer. At that time, the interest was real and there were advanced talks to try to bring him in. However, the footballer decided to stay at Athletic Club, a club to which he is very closely linked both athletically and emotionally.
With this context, Barça believes his train has already passed. The club understands that when a player hesitates at a key moment, he may not be the best option for the future. The sporting management has conveyed this internally, and now prefers to go for other players.
a possible regret that confuses Barça
However, the matter has taken a new unexpected turn. According to "El Nacional", Barça has been surprised that Nico Williams now seems interested in wearing the blaugrana jersey. It seems the player may have regretted not signing last summer and would be willing to negotiate if the club calls him again.
It is striking that the footballer, who less than a year ago chose to stay at San Mamés, now sees a possible move to Barça in a better light. Although there are no formal talks open, this openness from Nico may have reactivated a small interest.
laporta could reconsider his position
In this regard, Joan Laporta may be starting to consider a possible change of course, according to the same information. Although the initial decision was to rule out Nico, the fact that the player is now showing himself receptive could change the plans.
The blaugrana president hasn't made a final decision, but he is willing to listen to all options before closing the market planning. If Nico lowers his demands and shows commitment, it wouldn't be strange for him to come back into the club's orbit. For now, he remains officially ruled out, but at Can Barça they know that in the transfer market, nothing can ever be ruled out.
