Tottenham have been handed a blow in their pursuit of Nico Williams as multiple outlets are now reporting that the Athletic Club Bilbao star has agreed to join Barcelona this summer.
Williams has been linked with a whole host of Premier League sides, including Tottenham (The Telegraph), but it now appears that the winger wants to remain in La Liga.
This is the information now being carried by Mundo Deportivo, who claim that the 22-year-old has agreed to move to Camp Nou, with Barcelona expected to make their move after the Euros final against England.
This claim has also been backed by CaughtOffside, who say that Williams has ‘verbally accepted’ the Spanish side’s offer of a five-year contract.
However, the report makes it clear that the deal is far from done just yet, with the Catalan side having to either meet the player’s release clause or strike a deal with Athletic Club Bilbao.
The report adds that Premier League clubs might have their work cut out to land the Spain international after he expressed his preference to move to the Blaugrana.
If Barcelona fail to agree on a price with Bilbao, the race may become a little more interesting.
Spurs Web Opinion
Barcelona’s financial issues are well documented and there is no guarantee that they would be able to pay the required fee to sign Williams.
Spurs and other Premier League clubs would be watching the situation closely and ready to pounce if the player’s move to Catalonia falls through.
