Deco confirms Nico Williams rejected Barcelona, reveals more signings will arrive before transfer window closes

With 10 days to go, Barcelona are still scrambling to sort out their finances. A number of sales would help ease concerns, and leave room in the first team’s salary budget to sign a couple of players.

One of those players will not be Nico Williams. The 22-year-old will almost certainly be staying at Athletic Club, despite having been pursued by Barcelona all summer. As per COPE’s Victor Navarro, sporting director Deco confirmed to a fan that the Euro 2024 winner rejected the move earlier in the transfer window.

Navarro also revealed that Deco told this supporter to expect more signings before the end of the transfer window in 10 days’ time. It’s expected that Barcelona will pursue a left winger because of their failed attempt to sign Williams, while a pivot or full-back could also arrive in Catalonia.

It remains to be seen whether Barcelona can actually make the sales required to bring in any more players. For now, it’s hard to say, although the impending departure of Ilkay Gundogan, among others, will certainly help.
