FC Barcelona fans are optimistic that their club can make big signings this summer in order to compete next season. The club and the fans really want Nico Williams to play for them next season, and it looks very possible, as many reports suggest that there is a personal agreement with the player. This is great news for Barca fans since Williams demonstrated in the EUROS how effective he is on the pitch.

Another player on the Spanish national team was impressed in the tournament this summer. Dani Olmo was a former La Masia player but left to play at Dinamo Zagreb and has shined at RB Leipzig. FC Barcelona and Hansi Flick wants to sign Olmo, but signing Nico Williams and Dani Olmo is very complicated. A player of value in the FC Barcelona squad will need to leave in order to get the deal done.

Frenkie De Jong is one of the most valuable players in the Barcelona squad and earns the most in La Liga. The midfielder's future at Barcelona is uncertain, but De Jong has stated that he wants to stay. The Catalan club reportedly is willing to sell him this summer if a big offer arrives.

Sport reports that FC Barcelona president Joan Laporta has been open for the club to sign both Dani Olmo and Nico Williams. FC Barcelona wants to officially sign Nico Williams next week. More reports in Spain suggest that RB Leipzig believes that Dani Olmo has done a lot for their club and will facilitate his transfer to FC Barcelona if he wants to leave.

Olmo and Nico Williams were part of the EURO 2024 Team of the Tournament. Olmo finished the competition with three goals, the top goalscorer of the tournament, and two assists. Williams finished the competition with two goals and one assist. He scored in the 2-1 win against England in the EUROS final.
