The 22-year-old winger from Athletic Bilbao has become a major transfer target for many top European clubs, after he played brilliantly on the journey with Spain to win EURO 2024 . In this tournament, Nico Williams scored 2 goals, contributing greatly to Spain's 7-match winning streak.
In particular, Nico Williams proved to be very compatible both on and off the field with Barcelona striker Lamine Yamal. The two often share clips of dancing together on social networks. Lamine Yamal also played extremely well at EURO 2024, receiving the title of best player of the tournament.
For that reason, Barcelona fans are currently eagerly waiting for striker Yamal - Williams to play for the home team together. "Sign Nico", "100% we need Nico"... are some of the comments accompanying the call for donations on Barcelona's most recent TikTok videos.
According to Transfermarkt, Williams' current market value is 70 million Euros ($76.29 million), while Spanish media reported that Athletic Bilbao set his contract release fee at $58 million.
This amount of money is not too large for a promising player like Nico Williams, but at this time Barcelona is facing many financial difficulties.
Despite the goodwill of Barca fans, donations labeled as "rewards" on TikTok will not help the club much as they range from only 5 cents to 1 Euro, while the social network This retains most of the money.
In this year's summer transfer window, Barcelona has not yet signed any players even though they desperately need to strengthen their squad. Last season, they ranked 2nd in La Liga and reached the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League.
