Barcelona forward Raphinha is looking forward to welcoming Nico Williams to the club from Athletic if he does make the move this summer.
The Catalans are hoping to sign the Spain star next week, and Raphinha has been asked what he thinks about the potential signing.
Barcelona’s brilliant Brazilian was very gracious with his words and is looking forward to playing alongside Williams at the Camp Nou.
“Any player who comes to join the club is welcome. I think that anyone who comes with the mentality of arriving, working and striving for the good of the team is very welcome,” he said, via Sport.
“It is no coincidence that he is being considered to play with us at Barcelona and that he plays in the senior Spanish national team.
“He is a player of the highest quality. He has a lot of level, a lot of quality.”
If Williams does arrive then he will increase Hansi Flick’s options in attack which could see Raphinha deployed in a more central role next season.
