Nico Williams and Barcelona are making yet more headlines this summer with the rumor mill going into overdrive about a possible move to Catalunya for the Athletic Club star.
The latest update comes from Gerard Romero’s Jijantes and a claim that Barcelona’s boss has already been talking to Williams.
“Hansi Flick has already explained to Nico Williams the project at Can Barça through a phone call,” is the update on X from Jijantes.
The suggestion is that Flick would be more than happy to have Nico in his squad next season alongside Spain team-mates Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Dani Olmo et al.
Flick was spotted giving Williams a warm embrace at the start of the season when Barcelona met Athletic in La Liga.
He was quizzed on the exchange afterwards and said only: “My hug for Nico Williams? I just congratulated him on the Euros. I don’t like to talk about rivals.”
That came after a summer of speculation that Nico would sign for Barcelona which ultimately failed to happen.
Yet fast forwards 12 months and the talk is once again of Barcelona trying to sign Nico Williams.
