Williams has reportedly signed a pre-agreement with the Blaugrana for a six-year contract that will keep him at Camp Nou until the summer of 2031, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The youthful phenom Lamine Yamal, with whom the explosive winger has developed a tight bond for the Spain national team, is now on the verge of joining him. Williams, who is expected to earn €12 million (£10m/$14m) at Barcelona, will form a dynamic new duo in Hansi Flick’s attacking ambitions.

He was first a priority target for the club last summer, but plans for another big-name deal were shelved after Dani Olmo’s purchase severely taxed the team’s meager transfer funds. Williams’ will to wear the Barcelona shirt has also apparently impressed club president Joan Laporta.

To finalize the terms of the potential transfer, the winger’s camp and club administrators have met several times recently. After Barca and Athletic Club agree on a price, Williams will be able to finalize the transfer.

Athletic Club is reportedly requesting €60 million for the winger.

The success of Barcelona’s talks with Williams comes at the price of a number of important European teams. The Spain international had drawn interest from Arsenal, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich.

Throughout the season, Chelsea was allegedly keeping an eye on his circumstances, and Bayern allegedly held discussions just before their team left for the Club World Cup in the United States. In the end, Williams’ desire to remain in Spain and work on a project with fellow La Roja star Yamal seems to have made the difference for Barcelona.
