Barcelona, under the leadership of president Joan Laporta and coach Hansi Flick, has decided to abandon their pursuit of Nico Williams, the winger from Athletic Bilbao, for the upcoming summer transfer window.
Instead, they are focusing on another player from one of the top Premier League clubs, rather than the Spanish winger.
According to information from the Catalan newspaper Sport, Barcelona has shown significant interest in signing Colombian winger Luis Díaz from Liverpool.
The report also stated that Hansi Flick, Barcelona’s head coach, prefers Díaz over Nico Williams, seeing him as a better option to strengthen the team.
Additionally, the player himself has expressed a strong desire to join Barcelona, and the club has a good relationship with his agents, which could facilitate future negotiations.
The report concluded by noting that Flick is pressuring Laporta and Deco to finalize the deal for Díaz in the upcoming summer transfer window, as the German coach believes that Díaz would provide a powerful attacking solution and elevate the team’s performance due to his versatility and consistent goal-scoring ability.
