Barcelona transfer news does not stop for a second! Joan Laporta is dreaming about the arrival of Nico Williams, as he believes that the club may not have such an opportunity anymore. Blaugrana value Nico incredibly high. However, the Catalans are preparing for the fact that they will not be able to land Williams. Earlier on, it was reported that they were showing interest in Jaden Philogene, while another option, according to David Bernabeu, is Jamie Bynoe-Gittens, the young winger of Borussia Dortmund. Nevertheless, it will be difficult to convince the Bundesliga outfit to let him go.
According to Fernando Polo, Barcelona will actively try to acquire Nico Williams in any case. The La Liga representatives believe they can do it even without selling Raphinha.
Also, as reported by Gerard Romero, Adrien Rabiot's mother, who is his agent, offered Barça to sign her son. Rabiot is currently a free agent and demands a salary of €8 million.
