Barcelona want Nico Williams, ready to sell Raphinha

Indeed, according to SPORT, Athletic Club winger Nico Williams is considered the ideal target to strengthen Barcelona’s attack.

The Spanish international would fit the profile that the Blaugrana are looking for, but his €60 million price tag poses a challenge for the Catalan heavyweights.

As such, the report states that Barcelona are considering a significant sale in the attacking unit to free up space and also finance the move of youngster Nico.

To this end, Raphinha has been identified as the candidate most likely to be removed by the Catalan team.

The 27-year-old Brazilian has had another solid season with Barcelona, ​​but the fact he is attracting interest from the Premier League and Saudi Arabia and could command a significant fee makes him an attractive candidate to sell .

Raphinha, for her part, has no intention of leaving the Azulgrana in summer, especially not for Saudi Arabia. But it could be influenced by a good offer, both sporting and economic, from the Premier League.

Barcelona, ​​meanwhile, have Nico as their ideal target but have also identified alternatives in case the Spaniard does not arrive.

The names of Dani Olmo and Xavi Simons have been linked to Liverpool’s Luis Diaz who is seen as Deco’s dream target, although he would be financially out of their reach.
