Guardiola and Florentino ready to torpedo Nico Williams's signing for Barça

Everything indicates that Nico Williams won't be part of Barça's squad for the 2025/26 season

Bayern Munich have accepted that Florian Wirtz will not be part of their squad next season. The German attacking midfielder, who has been a target for the club for months, is getting closer to signing for Liverpool. This has forced the Bavarians to rethink their transfer strategy and activate a new list of offensive targets.

Heading that list is Nico Williams, one of the great revelations of the European Championship. His release clause makes him an attractive option, and both his youth and his ability to unbalance fit with Bayern's philosophy.

Bayern keep an eye on Nico Williams's future

The German side would be focused on Nico Williams, but he's not the only winger who has caught their attention. Rafael Leao or Cody Gakpo are emerging as a plan B with international experience and a profile similar to Wirtz's.

Bayern want to rebuild after a disappointing season and know that, without Florian Wirtz, they need another major signing. In the offices at Allianz Arena, they're already working against the clock to secure an attacking figure who will return the club to the top.

Nico Williams, an uncertain future

In recent weeks, one of the most prominent rumors has been the possible signing of Nico Williams by Real Madrid. The young winger from Athletic Club, also wanted by Barcelona, has been linked to a departure this summer. Although his destination remains uncertain, recent information has provided clues about his future.

However, recent information has made it clear that Real Madrid prioritize strengthening other positions before the attack. Although they recognize Nico's quality and potential, the club has other priorities in the market.

Meanwhile, Barça have also been keeping an eye on the Spanish footballer, as they had the goal of pairing Nico with Lamine Yamal. However, the winger from Athletic Club has other offers on the table and everything suggests that his future could be in the Premier League or at Bayern.

We will have to keep an eye on Nico Williams's future in the coming weeks, as he will be one of the standout names in the market.
