Barcelona are intensifying their pursuit of Spanish-Ghanaian Nico Williams following the conclusion of the 2024 European Championship, according to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

The Catalan club is ready to advance in talks with the 22-year-old's representatives to finalize the salary structure, a crucial step in moving the potential deal forward.

Head coach Hansi Flick has already given his approval for Nico Williams to be the top target this summer, as confirmed by Romano.

Despite facing financial constraints, Barcelona remains prominently linked with Williams ahead of the upcoming season.

Club president Joan Laporta has signaled readiness to submit a formal offer, marking a significant development in negotiations.

According to transfer specialist Matteo Moretto, Barcelona may need to offload players to facilitate the acquisition of Williams, but progress on personal terms with the 22-year-old appears promising.

Athletic Club stands firm on Williams' €58m release clause, prompting Barcelona to consider a structured bid to meet the valuation.
