“We'll work on it” Deco confirms Barcelona's desire to sign Nico Williams
It is clear and not a secret that the Catalan club Barcelona wants to sign a player for the left wing position at the end of this summer market, and this has already been confirmed by Barcelona's Portuguese sporting director, Deco, who has worked on more than one deal, including the latest one, which is the deal of Spanish goalkeeper Juan Garcia from Espanyol.
Deco speaks candidly about signing Nico Williams
Barcelona's pursuit of attacking reinforcements has taken a decisive turn in recent weeks, with Athletic Club's Nico Williams emerging as the new priority target ahead of Liverpool's Luis Díaz. Sporting director Deco provided rare insight into the ongoing negotiations during an interview with La Vanguardia, revealing the meticulous process behind their transfer strategy.

The Blaugrana executive confirmed both players have expressed strong interest in joining the Catalan giants, though Williams' situation appears more advanced. "When Nico's circumstances align, we'll make our move," Deco stated, outlining the structured approach Barcelona follows - initial agent discussions, contractual evaluations, and finally club negotiations regarding either activating release clauses or agreeing transfer fees.
Deco emphasized the importance of recruiting players with the right mentality, praising Williams and Díaz as ambitious professionals hungry for success. The revelation comes as Barcelona weigh up their options, with Williams' existing La Liga experience and explosive wing play potentially giving him the edge over his Colombian counterpart in their revamped attacking plans for next season.
