Barcelona are reportedly looking to sign three Spain players who helped Spain win Euro 2024. With pre-season in full swing and next season just around the corner, Barcelona are working hard to sign Nico Williams, Mikel Merino and Dani Olmo.
Their interest in Nico · Williams is not surprising, with the winger impressing for Athletic Bilbao last season. Last season, he contributed 16 goals in 31 La Liga games. He maintained that form in the summer, scoring twice and providing assists at the European Championships.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta has publicly announced their interest in Williams, who is playing for the national team at the time. Asked if the club could afford the 22-year-old's €58 million release clause, he specifically told Radio Catalunya (via Spain Football Channel):
"From today, yes. There will be good news on the sports front, and we will announce it soon. We are in the process of making the requested transaction. ”
Now, according to journalist Ad·rian Sanchez (via Universal-Barça), the club have put Nico · Williams at the top of their list. He ·was followed by Mikel Merino, who scored an extra-time goal for Spain to help Spain beat Germany in the quarter-finals. They are hoping to strike a deal with his club, Real Sociedad, before the start of next season.
The third player on the list is Dani · Olmo, who was the highlight of the Spain team. All three of Olmo's goals in the knockout stages were necessary for Spain to reach the final, where they beat England 2-1. Barcelona are hoping they can sign Leipzig's playmaker this summer.
Ronaldo · Coman discussed the players Barcelona should sign
Barcelona may be looking for some signings, but former coach Ronald · Koeman has spoken about the type of players they need to sign. This happened when they were second in every aspect against Real Madrid last season, as they failed to win a trophy.
Koeman has been trying to find a player like Kylian Mbappe, who has just signed as a free agent. He told the Sport:
"I think Real Madrid is better than Barcelona in many ways. They have a team for the future and I know Barcelona have very good young players, Yamal, Pedri, Gavi. Great players, but Barca need someone like Mbappe, who makes a difference in every way. ”
After ongoing financial problems, Barcelona are unlikely to sign a player of Mbappe's calibre.
