Neither Luis Díaz nor Nico Williams: Fabrizio Romano points out Barça's next signing

The Italian journalist has made very clear the situation of a star who is on the Catalans' list of favorites

Fabrizio Romano is one of the most reliable sources in current football and journalism, and his news is often accurate. The Italian knows very well what he's talking about and has many contacts in most teams around the world. Barça is one of them and he has leaked several news items in recent years; most of them correct.

Barça is going through a great moment and has done everything possible to return to the top of Europe. With a very low budget for the magnitude of the club, Flick has done a great job. Now, the signings of Luis Díaz and Nico Williams are moving away and another is approaching.

Barça's situation, Nico Williams and Luis Díaz

Nico Williams is one of the most promising wingers on the continent and he proved it in the Eurocup, which is a great showcase. Several of the biggest teams set their sights on him, including Barça, which tried to recruit him. Unfortunately for the culés, the Spaniard preferred to renew with the club of his life, Athletic Club.

This year, Nico Williams didn't start in the best way, but little by little he has returned to showing his best football, leaving an injury behind. Meanwhile, Luis Díaz is having another great season and already has 15 goals and 8 assists in 46 matches. The Colombian has a contract until 2027 and everything points to Flick not wanting him on the team.

What is certain is that Barça is very alert to Nico Williams and, despite last summer's "no," still believes he would fit well in the squad. Interestingly, Fabrizio Romano has spoken about the situation of one of Liverpool's best footballers and everything brings him closer to the Catalan team. The forward we're talking about is Darwin Núñez, the striker of the English team whose contract expires in 2028.

Darwin Núñez and Barça

Darwin Núñez has been clear since February that this is his last season at Liverpool and Fabrizio Romano has confirmed it again. The Italian has admitted on X that Darwin rejected Al Nassr this winter, but he is looking for new challenges. If the English set a reasonable price, it's likely that Barça will be interested in him.

It's very likely that Barça will have to choose between Darwin Núñez and Nico Williams. Although we can't take anything for granted, it's likely that those from the City of Barcelona will inquire about Darwin soon.
