Exciting news for Barcelona fans! Rising Spanish star Nico Williams has officially agreed to personal terms with FC Barcelona on a 6-year contract, keeping him at the Catalan club until June 2031.
The deal includes a net salary of €7 to €8 million per season, marking a major milestone in Nico’s career and a huge statement from Barcelona in the transfer market.
According to trusted journalist Fabrizio Romano, the agreement between Nico Williams and Barça is already sealed on the player’s side.
All that’s left is for Barcelona and Athletic Club to agree on the financial terms to complete the transfer.
Barça’s management is now focused on negotiating with Athletic Bilbao, Nico’s current club, to finalize the deal.
The release clause is a major talking point, but with the player already committed to the move, Barcelona has a strong hand in talks.
Interestingly, this move wasn’t initially driven by Barcelona’s board or management.
Instead, it was Barça players themselves who played a crucial role in convincing Nico.
Sources reveal that some senior Barcelona players, including Lamine Yamal, personally reached out to the Spanish winger, urging him to consider a move to the Camp Nou and turn down interest from Bayern Munich and Arsenal.
This rare approach shows the level of belief Barcelona players have in Nico’s potential and how well he would fit into Hansi Flick’s tactical plans for the upcoming season.
Despite other big clubs chasing him, including Arsenal and Bayern Munich, Nico Williams made his intentions crystal clear.
His agent was reportedly hesitant about Nico initiating talks with Barça himself. But the player stood firm, saying,
“If I leave Bilbao, Barcelona is the only club I want to join.”
That kind of passion and commitment is exactly what Barça fans love to see.
With Nico Williams set to join the likes of Pedri, Gavi, and Lamine Yamal, Barcelona’s future is looking brighter than ever.
A dynamic winger with pace, creativity, and La Liga experience, Nico brings a fresh injection of talent and energy to the squad.
Once the financial terms are settled with Athletic Club, the move will be official—and fans can expect an announcement very soon.
