Barcelona set to finalize “exciting” signing after Joan García arrival
Barcelona president Joan Laporta has confirmed that after securing goalkeeper Joan García, the club is closing in on signing another player who “excites us a lot” — widely believed to be Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.
Laporta made the comments during a recent club senate meeting, reaffirming that Barça now comply with La Liga’s 1:1 financial rule and can operate normally in the transfer market :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}. Williams, 22, has a €60–62 million release clause and has reportedly agreed personal terms with Barcelona — only negotiations remain with Athletic Club :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}.

If completed, the move for Williams would not only strengthen Barcelona’s wings but also reinforce Hansi Flick’s vision of a dynamic, attacking squad. Fans are eagerly awaiting official confirmation.
