Barca not ruling out Nico Williams despite signing Olmo
Dani Olmo could become a Barcelona player in the next few days. This has not prevented the Catalan giants from giving up hope on Athletic's Nico Williams.
The name of Nico Williams is perhaps the one most often heard around the Camp Nou. Barcelona have been trying to convince the Spanish player that the best move for his career would be to Barcelona since before the European Championship and at the continental tournament.
Nico's message to the Athletic fans on Tuesday, on his return from holidays, and the approach for the transfer of Dani Olmo to Barcelona seemed to have buried all options of the winger being the star signing of the Cules, but that is not the case.
'Sport' reported on Tuesday that the Catalan club are not going to forget so easily about the Athletic player, who is still on Barcelona's agenda for this summer.
The Catalan club understands that until Nico Williams says publicly that he is not going to leave Athletic, the doors to a possible signing are open before 30 August.
Barcelona already made a formal offer more than 10 days ago, but Athletic will not let him leave unless the release clause is deposited and they cannot do anything to keep him in Bilbao.
Azulgrana president Laporta has two fronts open. On the one hand, that of Dani Olmo, who could return to his former club. On the other, that of Nico Williams, who has dazzled at the European Championship.
