Nico Williams and Barça are destined to understand each other, according to what 'e-Notícies' has learned. Joan Laporta is the one who has made the final decision, which involves securing the arrival of Nico Williams during this summer transfer market.

Laporta wants to inaugurate Camp Nou in style and dreams of doing so by presenting Nico Williams, who would form a lethal duo with Lamine Yamal, one of his best friends. Hansi Flick has requested that Barça go to the transfer market to sign an striker, and Joan Laporta will fulfill this by signing Nico Williams.

Barça knows that, to sign the younger Williams, there is only one possible way: to pay the full clause of the Navarrese player. Barça still doesn't have FairPlay, but it will once it sells the VIP seats of the new Camp Nou, already agreed upon.

With the money from this part, Barça and especially Joan Laporta will go all out for Nico Williams, who has already met with the president in Barcelona. According to 'e-Notícies', Nico Williams and Joan Laporta met a few weeks ago and sealed a verbal preliminary agreement.
