Barcelona put an end to Nico Williams's career.

Barcelona have abandoned their pursuit of Athletic Club striker Nico Williams, marking a turning point in the Catalan club's 2025 summer transfer strategy.

Nico Williams is a player who was once pursued by Barcelona.

According to Mundo Deportivo , Williams is no longer on Barcelona's transfer target list. The Catalan club still intends to strengthen their attack, but they are now prioritizing other targets instead of the Spanish star.

Williams was once Barcelona's most desired signing in the 2024 summer transfer window. However, things reversed after the 2024/25 season. The Euro 2024 champion's declining form led Barcelona to gradually lose interest in recruiting him.

Furthermore, the Athletic Club striker is demanding a salary of over 10 million euros per year, which has deterred many top European clubs. However, apart from Barcelona withdrawing from the deal, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and Liverpool are still closely monitoring Williams' situation.

Williams currently has a release clause worth €58 million. Top European scouts are impressed with Nico Williams' technique, speed, and explosiveness, qualities that could help him become a leading offensive star in the future.

In the 2024/25 season, Nico Williams did not perform as explosively as he did when he helped Spain win Euro 2024. After 45 appearances in all competitions, Williams only scored 11 goals.

Lamine Yamal was devastated after the final whistle. Lamine Yamal watched Portugal celebrate, but sadness overwhelmed him as Spain lost in the 2025 Nations League final on the morning of June 9th.
