Two leading figures at La Liga champions Barcelona came together this week, to sit down for a call with a headline member of the club’s summer transfer wishlist.
That’s according to El Chiringuito TV, who highlight Nico Williams as the player in question.
Nico’s potential Barca switch has of course dominated the headlines across all of Spain over the course of the day to date.
This comes after widespread confirmation was forthcoming that the 22-year-old has reached an agreement with the Blaugrana on the terms of a contract for next season.
🚨🔵🔴 Nico Williams and Barça have agreed personal terms on 6 year deal!

And likely to have proven a central factor in as much, as alluded to above, was a phone call on the part of both Hansi Flick, and Deco.
As revealed by El Chiringuito TV, after convening on the island of Ibiza this week:
“Deco and Flick called Nico Williams.
“It was at a meeting to plan the season in which they also talked about more arrivals and departures.”
