According to ESPN, Barcelona has suspended negotiations with other players and focused on signing Nico Williams.

ESPN's report pointed out that Barcelona is increasingly optimistic that the club will sign Biba winger Nico as a major signing in the summer window. ESPN previously reported that Nico was listed as Deco's forward reinforcement candidate, along with Louis Dias and Rashford. However, sources told ESPN that Barcelona has suspended negotiations with other players and focused on signing Nico.

Deco initially placed Diaz as a priority because the player could play center, but the recent meeting with Nico's agent changed everything, and the club is now focusing on signing Nico.

Nico has received invitations from other European teams, but his primary goal is to join Barcelona, ​​and according to sources, he has reached personal terms with Barcelona. Barcelona's next step is to free up salary space so that Nico can join the team and pay a 58 million euro termination fee is not a problem.

Some sources hinted that if Barcelona sign Nico, some players would have to be sold, and Fermin is one of them. Bayern and many other European clubs are paying attention to Ferming's situation, and Saudi Arabia is also interested in him. Currently, both Barcelona and Fermin insist on staying in the team.

Meanwhile, Barcelona will save money by selling marginal players and cutting the B-squad budget, with midfielder Alex Garrido coming to Eibar, and European Youth League champions Hugo Alba and Pradas will accept higher offers to leave the club.
