Barça takes a firm step for Nico Williams: media assure that there is already a pre-agreement between both parties. His signing, more possible than ever
FC Barcelona gives the impression of being totally focused on finalizing the signing of the left winger of Athletic Club, Nico Williams, this summer. And it is that, recently, it was announced that the azulgrana board, commanded by Joan Laporta, has already given the green light to bet on the incorporation of the Pamplona forward.
The '17' of 'La Roja', who has aroused the interest of great European teams such as Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Chelsea, seems to have his priorities clear: either he joins the Barcelona team, or he renews his link with the 'Lions'.
In this sense, the idea that takes strength is that of Nico Williams signing for Barça. An alternative that gives the sensation of being much more open this summer compared to the previous one. Even, as already mentioned, his representative, Félix Tainta, has recently established contact with the culé entity with the aim of exploring the options of reactivating the operation. A scenario that, as of today, is more alive than ever.
Nico Williams' possible contract with FC Barcelona
As reported by journalist Santi Aouna of Footmercato, Barcelona would have already reached a pre-agreement with Nico Williams. The details point to a link of six seasons, until June 2031, with a salary of 12 million euros gross per year.

These emoluments would be less than what, at the time, was speculated that he could ask to join Bayern Munich. According to Sky Sports Germany, the '10' of Athletic would have been willing to request 20 M€ gross per season, so this reduction in his salary could be key to directing his arrival to the team of the Ciudad Condal.
An incorporation with total support: Flick, Lamine and the culé dome want him
Beyond the pre-agreement, the arrival of Nico Williams generates consensus at all levels of the club. Hansi Flick, Barcelona coach, would be one of his main backers and would even have had a conversation with the player to explain the details of the project.
In turn, Lamine Yamal, one of the great stars of Barcelona, would also be pushing for the youngest of the Williams brothers to arrive, expressing internally his desire to share the field with him.
However, a key aspect remains to be resolved: the payment of the termination clause. After no changes have been made to his contract with Athletic compared to last summer, and with a Basque team unwilling to negotiate his departure, Barça will have to pay the 58 million euros plus the CPI to close the operation.
Social networks and winks to Barça: signs that excite
In an era where small gestures count, 'winks' also speak. Recently, Lamine Yamal published a 'story' on Instagram with Nico Williams celebrating a score with him, just when there was talk of contacts between the player's environment and the club. This generated a wave of speculation.
To that is added a like from Alejandro Balde to a post that talked about the possible arrival of Nico to the Catalan team. But the most recent movement has been starred by Nico Williams himself, and has not gone unnoticed by the fans of Athletic.
The profile picture change that has given something to talk about
Williams has changed his profile picture on Instagram for an animated image in which blue and red colors predominate, interpreted by many as a direct wink to Barcelona. Added to this, in the image appears the shield of the Spanish national team, but there is no trace of Athletic Club.
This gesture has generated some resentment among the rojiblanca fans, who have seen how the player eliminated an image in which he wore the shirt of the Basque club to place another that, according to some, could be a declaration of intentions. One more in the growing sensation that Nico Williams has more and more culé soul.
