Barcelona have a new Plan B for Nico Williams thanks to the Euros
FC Barcelona already have an established list of players they wish to pursue in the summer. The Catalan club does not have the resources to sign every single one of their most desired targets just yet, however. That is why it is crucial for Barcelona to manage their priorities accordingly.
At the moment, the very highest of priorities at Barcelona remains the signing of a certain 21-year-old Athletic Club star. Nico Williams, one of the heroes for Spain in the European Championship, has now become the absolute priority for Barça and the club hopes to go all out for him.
He currently has a release clause of €58 million, and that is the amount that Barça are apparently ready to pay for him. Unfortunately, nothing is a guarantee in the world of football and things go wrong all the time. That is why, even today, the Catalan club has proper alternatives in place for Nico Williams.
According to SPORT, the player who is now the priority in case the operation for Nico Williams fails is Dani Olmo. While Liverpool star Luis Diaz was previously the Plan B as per SPORT, it now appears that the 26-year-old RB Leipzig star is the man that Barça would be betting on as their secondary option this summer.
