Nico Williams update: Report claims Barcelona have been rejected, representatives do not deny

The Nico Williams transfer saga is expected to come to its conclusion in the next few days, with official word expected to come from the 22-year-old winger. He’s currently deciding between staying at Athletic Club for at least more season, or joining Barcelona – PSG are also pushing to sign him, but they are further behind.

It’s been reported that Williams has already decided where his future lies, and according to Daniel Sobis of Eleven Sports Poland, it’s actually where he already is.

It’s a big decision that Williams is facing. Leaving his boyhood club of Athletic would be extremely difficult, regardless of Barcelona’s status as one of the biggest brands in world football. The situation should come to a head in the very near future.
