Barcelona are looking to strengthen their attacking line ahead of the 2024/25 season. Joan Laporta has two names in his sights: Nico Williams and Dani Olmo. The Athletic player was the priority but, according to ‘Cadena SER’, he is having doubts and this has caused the Catalan side to want to close the transfer of the RB Leipzig player as soon as possible.
FC Barcelona are waiting to hear Nico Williams’ decision regarding his future. The 22-year-old is the Catalans’ priority to reinforce their attack.
But, according to ‘Cadena SER’, the Spanish winger has doubts about signing for Barcelona this summer, which has caused the La Liga side to want to sign Dani Olmo as soon as possible as they are not willing to wait for his services for another year.
RB Leipzig rejected an initial offer of 40 million euros fixed plus 20 million euros in variables to be paid over several years for his transfer. In the next few days, a new proposal is expected to reach the German side.
In the meantime, the club has already agreed everything with the playmaker. It only remains for the negotiations with the German club, who are asking for a fixed 60 million euros, to reach a successful conclusion. Deco has remained working in Barcelona to try to close the transfer.
Despite the fact that Nico Williams is not sure, Barcelona will hold out until the end to make the transfer. The team presided by Joan Laporta has in mind to announce some incorporation during the tour in the United States.
