Nico Williams (Nicholas Williams Arthuer) is a dynamic 22‑year‑old Spanish winger known for his blistering pace, technical flair, and dribbling wizardry. Born in Pamplona to Ghanaian parents, he came through Athletic Bilbao’s academy after joining in 2013
Nico is a sensational winger: blisteringly fast, technically brilliant in his dribbling, creative with strong chance-creation, and diligent off the ball. He’s already world-class in duels and progressive carries, with the potential to evolve into a more clinical goal threat. At just 22, he’s a modern complete wide attacker with huge upside.

Williams is leaning toward Barça, but Bayern remains a serious contender financially. The next 1–2 weeks are crucial, with Deco’s Ibiza talks and paperwork on the move. Any hiccup in Barcelona’s finances could tip the balance in Munich’s favor.
Deco, Barcelona’s sporting director, recently flew to Ibiza to meet Nico Williams in a direct push to secure his signing. The club is working to finalize personal terms and strategize how to trigger his €58–60 million release clause despite their financial limitations. Williams is reportedly receptive, but Barça must act fast before Bayern swoops in.
