Barcelona have a long list of attacking targets to choose from but appear to have pushed Nico Williams back to the top of their priority list.

Barcelona have reportedly reached a pre-agreement with Athletic Club winger Nico Williams as they edge closer to finalising the summer arrival of the Spain international.

England has also shown interest, but his focus is on Barcelona. At 22 years old, Nico is shaping up as a strategic addition: he knows LaLiga, fits in with the new Culés generation, and has chemistry with key players like Lamine Yamal. The only thing missing is for the Catalan club to take the decisive step. The ball is now in their court.
