Tottenham Hotspur have been handed a blow in their pursuit of Nico Williams, with Fabrizio Romano now revealing that Barcelona are preparing to push ahead with a move for the winger this week.
Nico Williams was on fire at the Euros for Spain
While Willaims might be the dream summer signing for plenty of Spurs fans, it became clear over the weekend that the Lilywhites have their cut out to land the 22-year-old, who was one of the stars of Spain’s victorious Euro 2024 campaign.
This was because several reports emerged that the Athletic Club Bilbao star had agreed to join Barcelona this summer (Mundo Deportivo).
In fact, CaughtOffside, even asserted that the winger had ‘verbally accepted’ the Catalan side’s offer of a five-year contract.
Barcelona are ready to make their move
Romano has now taken to social media to state that Barca are now prepared to enter into ‘advanced talks’ with William’s camp regarding a summer switch to Camp Nou.
The journalist claims that the Blaugrana have identified the Spain international as their number one target, with manager Hansi Flick having already approved the signing.
However, Romano adds that Barca have to wrap up the deal quickly as some Premier League sides are still circling over Williams.

The fact that no Premier League side has made a concrete move for Williams is perhaps evidence that the winger wants to remain in La Liga.
It does appear as if he has his heart set on a move to Barca.
