“I know many club wants me but my dream come first”: Manchester United’s top transfer target Nico Williams has choosen his preferred club ahead of summer transfer window. NICO HAS CHOOSEN.
Nico Williams Speaks Out on His Future — A Major Blow to Manchester United’s Transfer Hopes
Spanish sensation Nico Williams has finally opened up about the swirling rumors surrounding his future — and the news won’t sit well with Manchester United fans.
During a press conference ahead of an Athletic Club match, the 21-year-old winger addressed speculation linking him to several top European sides, including Manchester United, Barcelona, and Chelsea.
“I know a lot of clubs are interested, but I have to follow my dream,” Williams said. “I’ve always had a clear idea of where I want to play. When the moment comes, I’ll pursue it.”
Although he didn’t explicitly reveal his next destination, multiple sources close to the player claim that Barcelona is his preferred choice. There, he could reunite with Spain teammate Lamine Yamal and be part of the club’s ongoing rebuild under their next manager.
Manchester United had placed Williams high on their summer transfer list, identifying his explosive pace, creativity, and adaptability as a perfect fit for their attacking needs. However, his comments hint that personal ambitions will outweigh financial or tactical considerations.
Williams has enjoyed a stellar season with Athletic Club, playing a pivotal role in their Copa del Rey triumph and helping them secure a top-six league finish. His release clause, reported at €50 million, makes him a highly attractive option — but only if he’s open to negotiations.
Now, with Barcelona seemingly in pole position and Williams making his intentions clear, United may need to explore other targets to strengthen their flanks ahead of the new campaign.
As the summer transfer window looms, this latest twist adds another layer of drama to an already competitive market — and for now, it appears Barcelona has the edge in the race for
Nico Williams.
