Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick is hugely enticed by the prospect of adding Nico Williams to his squad with a view to next season.
That’s according to Blaugrana insider Achraf Ben Ayad, who has on Tuesday provided an insight into the situation.
It is of course beginning to look increasingly likely that wide-man Nico will at last take his talents to Catalunya’s capital before the summer is out.
This comes with Deco and the Camp Nou brass having kicked back into gear their pursuit of the 22-year-old Athletic Club standout.
🚨🔵🔴 Barcelona have decided to activate the Nico Williams deal option after getting player’s total priority.
Barça will need more rounds of talks with his agent as they’d need to discuss terms of €58m release clause with Athletic.

‘Hansi Flick is very excited to have Nico Williams in his squad.’
