SPORT reveals that Barcelona have reserved the iconic number 10 shirt for Nico Williams in the summer transfer window.
Nico was undoubtedly one of Barcelona ‘s main targets last summer. He had also expressed his willingness to join the club. However, the deal fell through mainly due to financial constraints .
The situation had progressed to the point where the club even reserved the number 10 shirt for the talented striker , showing their serious intentions, especially as they were planning to sell Ansu Fati at the time.
Barca really wanted Nico.
Barcelona had reportedly set aside €62 million to trigger the winger’s release clause, but negotiations have stalled as Barca struggle to meet the player’s financial demands, along with uncertainty over the process of registering new players.
Despite that disappointment, the club remains hopeful and are planning to make another attempt next year , looking to bring Nico into their squad.
