Athletic Bilbao winger, Nico Williams, has been a hot topic for several top European clubs, including Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool. However, the Spain star reportedly considers Barcelona his top choice for a summer transfer.

Nico Williams, the younger brother of Ghanaian striker Inaki Williams, is making a significant impact at Euro 2024 alongside 16-year-old Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal.

His standout performances at the tournament, coupled with consistent La Liga seasons, have made him a prime target for clubs aiming to secure the next big talent.

According to SPORT, while Chelsea poses notable competition, Williams' priority is Barcelona. It appears the Premier League club has been informed through an intermediary of his preference.

Barcelona's financial strength is lower than that of the Premier League sides.

Barcelona's hopes depend on raising funds through other means and persuading Nico Williams to wait, with the appeal of linking up with Yamal at Camp Nou next season.
